Bishnoi on way out of Congress, meets Nadda and Shah, praises them

Haryana, 10/7: A month after cross-voting in the Rajya Sabha elections, sulking Congress leader Kuldeep Bishnoi on Sunday gave a definite sign that he is headed to the saffron camp by meeting BJP president J P Nadda and Home Minister Amit Shah here and praising them on social media.

Bishnoi, the 53-year-old son of former Haryana Chief Minister late Bhajan Lal, was on June 11 removed as Special Invitee in the Congress Working Committee and from other party posts after he voted for independent candidate Kartikeya Sharma in the Rajya Sabha polls from Haryana, leading to Congress candidate Ajay Maken’s defeat by a whisker.

 

Upset with Congress over a variety of issues,the Adampur MLA met the top BJP leaders and tweeted photographs of the meeting. There has been speculation about his future move and his latest move comes, months after the Congress central leadership ignored his claim to be the Haryana Congress president and instead nominated Uday Bhan, a close confidante of his inner-party rival Bhupinder Hooda.
