Ex-Punjab Congress Chief Sunil Jakhar Joins BJP, Welcomed By Party Chief JP Nadda & Manjinder Sirsa

Sunil Jakhar Congress News Today: Sunil Jakhar, senior Congress leader and former chief of its Punjab unit, has joined rival BJP days after quitting the grand old party. Mr Jakhar is in Delhi and has already met BJP chief JP Nadda. The former Congress leader was recently issued a show-cause notice by the Congress leadership over his criticism of former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi. Sources say Mr Jakhar is likely to get a Rajya Sabha seat from Punjab and might get more disgruntled Congress leaders into the BJP.
Expressing sorrow over breaking ties with Congress, which he called "family", he said he was sidelined because he pointed out that the party can't treat Punjab in percentages and divide people over caste. "You can remove Sunil Jakhar from a party post but can't silence him," he said while on stage with Mr Nadda.

"I had a 50-year-old relationship with congress, my family has been with the party for three generations since 1972. I considered it family," he said, claiming that he quit Congress, not because of any personal dispute, but "fundamental issues" with the party.
