Haryana BJP MP Brijendra Singh resigns from party, joins Congress

The Hindu  

Bharatiya Janata Party ’s Hisar Lok Sabha member Brijendra Singh on Sunday quit the party due to “compelling political reasons” and joined the Congress within a few hours. Formally joining the Congress in the presence of party’s national president Mallikarjun Kharge, Mr. Singh said that he took the decision to quit the BJP as he was “uncomfortable” and “not in agreement” over a few issues, including the farmers movement, the Agniveer scheme and the wrestlers protest.

Mr. Singh’s father and former Union Steel Minister Birender Singh had at a rally in Haryana’s Jind on October 2 last year threatened to quit BJP over its alliance with the JJP in the State and advised the saffron party to go solo in the polls.
