Senior BJP leaders Ajay Chaudhary, Chhori Pal, Om Prakash, and several others joined Congress in the presence of Harish Rawat in Dehradun.
Congress sources state that the party will still prioritize its core workers and this should not pose a problem to other party workers.
This is before the upcoming Uttarakhand elections.
Harish Rawat earlier said, “I want to shunt the saffron from Uttarakhand.” Harish Singh Rawat is an Indian politician who was Chief Minister of Uttarakhand from 2014 to 2017. A five-time Member of Parliament, Rawat is a leader of the Indian National Congress party.
Legislative Assembly elections will be held in Uttarakhand in February 2022 to elect 70 members of the Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly. The term of the current assembly elected in 2017 will expire on 23 March 2022.
