AAP councillor joins Cong
TNN
Ludhiana: AAP councillor from ward 58, Satnam Singh Sunny Master, joined the Congress on Friday. Ward 58 falls in the Ludhiana West assembly segment. He was inducted into the party by former chief minister
Charanjit Singh Channi
, besides Rana Gurjit and Bharat Bhushan Ashu.
Senior BJP leader Karan Warring and Paramvir Singh, nephew of late MLA Gurpreet Gogi, also joined the Congress. Earlier, Vikramjit Singh, AAP social media in-charge for Malwa region, also joined the Congress in presence of the party's Punjab in-charge, Bhupesh Baghel and PCC president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring.
Speaking on the occasion, Sunny Master said that he was completely disillusioned with AAP after seeing it from inside.
Describing AAP as a party of "fake revolutionaries," he said that he was deeply disturbed by the way the party leadership was handing over posts and positions, which rightfully belonged to Punjabis, to people from Delhi and other places.
Karan Warring said that the switch to Congress was a homecoming of sorts for him as his family had been with the Congress for generations. Calling AAP a party of outsiders, he solicited votes for Ashu.
Channi said that for a councillor, leaving the ruling party and joining the opposition was a big step, which showed the extent of people's disillusionment with AAP. He added that "self respecting Punjabis" should come forward and ensure the victory of Congress.
