Live Mint  

A former Congress MLA has claimed that politician Arvinder Singh Lovely, who on Sunday resigned from the party's chief post from the Delhi unit, would be joining rival Bharatiya Janata Party. Former MLA Asif Mohammad Khan told the media that BJP will field Lovely from East Delhi Lok Sabha seat by cancelling Harsh Malhotra's nomination. Lovely's resignation is a major setback for the embattled Congress party amid Lok Sabha polls. In his letter sent to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday, Lovely also said that he found himself "handicapped" as all unanimous decisions taken by senior Delhi unit leaders have been "unilaterally vetoed" by AICC Delhi in-charge Deepak Babaria.
