The Punjab Ekta Party, led by former AAP leader Sukhpal Singh Khaira, announced its merger with the Congress on Thursday, with its leaders calling on Rahul Gandhi in Delhi. Mr Khaira, the former leader of opposition in the Punjab Assembly, said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is a "one-man show" and his quitting the Congress to join the Arvind Kejriwal-led party in 2015 was a "mistake". Mr Khaira, an MLA from Bholath, along with Jagdev Singh Kamalu (MLA from Maur in Bathinda district) and Pirmal Singh Khalsa (MLA from Bhadaur in Barnala district), met Rahul Gandhi and joined the Congress formally. All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary in-charge of Punjab affairs Harish Rawat and the party's chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala were also present on the occasion.
