In blow to AAP, MLA joins Congress in Punjab
The Hindu
She says she is moved by the ‘stupendous performance’ of Channi Government
In a setback to the Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab, its Bathinda rural MLA Rupinder Kaur Ruby on Wednesday joined the Congress party.
Ms. Ruby said the stupendous performance of the Congress Government under the leadership of Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi during the past 50 days has been far better than that of AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal’s Government in Delhi, prompting her to join hands with the Congress.
“I am elated to join the Congress because it is the party of ‘aam adami’ in the true sense, contrary to the claim of AAP’s convener Kejriwal,” said Ms. Ruby in the presence of Mr. Channi, Congress party incharge of Punjab affairs Harish Choudhary and State president Navjot Singh Sidhu.
