JAIPUR: With just two weeks left before the Rajasthan Assembly elections, the Congress in Rajasthan suffered a double blow as former Congress minister Ram Gopal Bairwa, former MLA Ashok Tanwar, and several other leaders joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The leaders joined the BJP in the presence of Rajasthan BJP President CP Joshi and Member of Lok Sabha Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore at the party office in Jaipur.
Rajasthan BJP state President CP Joshi stated that a large number of Congress leaders are joining the BJP because they have faith in our PM Narendra Modi.
Ashok Tanwar had left the Congress in October 2019 due to issues with Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. Previously, Ashok Tanwar was a close aide of Rahul Gandhi when he was in Congress.
Rajasthan is set to go to the polls on November 25, with the counting taking place on December 3, alongside four other state assembly elections in Mizoram, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Telangana.
