Denied Lok Sabha ticket, Member of Parliament quits BJP & joins Congress

Jaipur | Denied a ticket to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Kaswan, the sitting BJP MP from Churu in Rajasthan, resigned from the party’s primary membership and joined the Congress on Monday.

Making an official announcement regarding Kaswan joining the party, the Congress posted on X: “Today @RahulKaswanMP, BJP MP from Churu, Rajasthan, joined Congress in the presence of Congress President Shri@kharge Ji. Welcome to the Congress family and best wishes for the future.”

कांग्रेस पार्टी में शामिल होने पर मैं राहुल कस्वां जी का हार्दिक अभिनंदन करता हूं।

मुझे खुशी है कि सामंतवादी लोगों के खिलाफ लड़ने वाले राहुल कस्वां जी ने कांग्रेस पार्टी ज्वाइन की है।

अगर ऐसी विचारधारा के लोग कांग्रेस पार्टी से जुड़ते गए तो BJP कहीं की नहीं रहेगी।

राम-राम मेरे चूरू लोकसभा परिवार…..

मेरे परिवारजनों! आप सब की भावनाओं के अनुरूप, मैं सार्वजनिक जीवन का एक बड़ा फैसला लेने जा रहा हूँ।
