NEW DELHI : Former RLD leader Anuradha Chaudhary and ex-AAP member Ezaz Amar Khan today joined the BJP ahead of Delhi Assembly election.
Chaudhary and Khan joined the party in the presence of state unit chief Satish Upadhyay and Union Minister Harsh Vardhan at the party’s state headquarters here.
“We welcome them to the party and I think their presence will further boost our campaign in Delhi and Khan’s presence also validates the ideology of the party towards people,” Vardhan said.
Chaudhary, when asked why she has been switching parties, said, “I had an ideological difference with RLD chief Ajit Singh so I left his party. And, moreover, I am impressed with the working style and policies of our PM, especially the ‘Beti Bachao’ campaign and ‘Jan Dhan Yojana’.”
She has earlier served twice as a cabinet minister in the Uttar Pradesh Government.
Upadhyay, meanwhile, attacked AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal accusing him of “spreading lies” and said that “this election would now be about lies versus the truth.” (AGENCIES)
