Congress Leader May Join BJP
A day after the BJP won the Surat Lok Sabha seat unopposed, Congress leader Nilesh Kumbhani is likely to join the BJP. Kumbhani’s nomination as Lok Sabha candidate was rejected over alleged discrepancies. Amid reports claiming that Kumbhani may join the BJP, Congress workers protested outside his locked house with posters that read, “janata ka gaddar (people’s traitor)”.
