New Delhi (10.03.2024): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Haryana's Hisar Brijendra Singh (IAS: 1998: HY) resigned not only from the party but also quit his Lok Sabha seat. He also joined the Congress just weeks ahead of the general elections. Singh is the son of Chaudhary Birender Singh.
Senior Congress leaders Ajay Maken, Mukul Wasnik, and Deepak Babaria were present at Kharge's residence during Singh's official induction into the Congress party. Congress sources have hinted that the bureaucrat-turned-politician is likely to be the party's candidate from Hisar in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
"I have resigned from the primary membership of BJP due to compelling political reasons. I extend gratitude to the party, national president JP Nadda, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Amit Shah for giving me the opportunity to serve as the Member of Parliament for Hisar,' Mr Singh posted on X earlier today.
The former Indian Administrator (IAS) is the great-grandson of the eminent Jat leader Chhotu Ram. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the bureaucrat-turned-politician had defeated Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) leader Dushyant Chautala and Bhavya Bishnoi, who was then with the Congress, to win Hisar Lok Sabha seat.
