Face of Nation : In another setback for the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) ahead of the Haryana Assembly polls, two more party legislators besides one Independent legislator joined the ruling BJP in Haryana this morning.
INLD’s Ram Chander Kamboj, a lawmaker from Rania assembly segment in Sirsa district, who had recently resigned from the party and Naseem Ahmed, legislator from Firozpur Jhirka, joined the BJP fold.
Independent legislator from Saffidon, Jasbir Deswal, who has been supporting the BJP, too joined the ruling outfit in the presence of Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and state unit chief Subhash Barala.
Notably, Naseem Ahmed had switched over to the Congress, days before general elections were held for the 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana in the sixth phase on May 12. However, he had not resigned from his parent party INLD then. All the three legislators have joined the BJP “unconditionally”, Mr Barala said. A few days back INLD’s Ratia legislator Ravinder Baliala had joined BJP along with Jagdish Yadav, a former Haryana minister.
