Dehradun (30.03.2026): Six leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from Uttarakhand which included three former MLAs, joined the Congress in New Delhi on March 28, 2026 in the presence of party general secretary Kumari Selja.
Rajkumar Thukral, Narayan Pal, and Bhimlal Arya are former MLAs while the other three are Gaurav Goyal, Lakhan Singh, and Anuj Gupta. Selja, who is party in-charge of the state, said the leaders had reposed faith in the leadership of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and former president Rahul Gandhi. Selja said the ruling dispensation was “on the back foot” following protests by Congress workers that had received significant public support.
The induction of the six leaders took place at the party headquarters in the presence of Uttarakhand Congress leaders, including Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president Ganesh Godiyal, Leader of the Opposition Yashpal Arya, election campaign committee chairman Pritam Singh, election management committee head Harak Singh Rawat, and former PCC president Karan Mahara.
