Jitin Prasad, the Congress's top Brahmin face in Uttar Pradesh, joined the BJP calling it the "only national party" in the country today.
Soon after long-time Congress leader Jitin Prasada joined the BJP, he was given a special welcome by Jyotiraditya Scindia, who started it all a year ago. "He is like my younger brother and I welcome him to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). I congratulate him," Jyotiraditya Scindia, a BJP Rajya Sabha member, was quoted as telling news agency ANI. Jitin Prasad, the Congress's top Brahmin face in Uttar Pradesh, joined the BJP calling it the "only national party" in the country today. "I started feeling in the Congress that there is no point if you cannot be present for the people, if you are incapable of taking care of your people," he said. The exit will hurt the Congress in UP, where elections are due in less than a year. But more than that, it will help the BJP reset its narrative in UP at a time the Yogi Adityanath government is facing attacks.More Related News
