Chandigarh, Jan 1 || Former Punjab Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) President Jasvir Singh Garhi, along with his supporters, on Wednesday joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann welcomed him into the party and assured him of AAP's dedication to social justice and inclusive governance.
Along with Garhi, former general secretaries of BSP Jaspreet Singh and Gurlal Saila also joined the AAP. On this occasion, MLAs Kulwant Singh Pandori and Sukhwinder Sukhi were also present.
Welcoming Garhi, CM Bhagwant Mann said, “The Aam Aadmi Party is dedicated to carrying forward the ideals of Baba Saheb Ambedkar and Kanshi Ram-ji. Together, we will ensure justice, equality, and opportunities for every section of society.”
“For the past two months, I remained silent about the decision taken by my previous party. I hoped they would introspect and correct their mistakes. Instead, I felt betrayed, as though my political assassination was carried out, similar to the sidelining of many leaders who stood with Kanshi Ram-ji,” Garhi told the media here.
