Jitin Prasada Joins BJP Ahead of UP Polls, Calls it New Chapter of Political Career

News 18  

In a setback for the Congress ahead of the 2022 state assembly polls, former Union minister and party leader Jitin Prasada, who had been disillusioned with the grand old party, switched over to the BJP on Wednesday. Prasada, who was also part of the G-23 group in Congress that had written a letter registering its dissent with the party leadership, joined the saffron party in the presence of BJP chief JP Nadda after meeting Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Railways Minister Piyush Goyal. Sources in the BJP told News18 that the former Congress leader may be asked to contest assembly polls in 2022 and then may play a role in Lok Sabha elections in 2024. Prasada was also in the news during the 2019 Lok Sabha polls when Priyanka Gandhi wanted to field a Brahmin face from state capital Lucknow against BJP’s Rajnath Singh.
