Anup Kesari, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief of Himachal Pradesh, joined the BJP along with two other party workers ahead of the upcoming state Assembly elections and expressed their disappointment with AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and accused him of “being ignorant” during a roadshow in Mandi constituency a few days ago.
In a major setback to AAP in Himachal Pradesh, its state unit AAP president Anup Kesari, general secretary organisation Satish Thakur and Una district chief Iqbal Singh, joined BJP at the residence of JP Nadda in the national capital.
Speaking to ANI, Mr Kesari said, “We have been working round the clock with utmost honesty and dedication for AAP for the past eight years in Himachal Pradesh. However, Arvind Kejriwal overlooked the state party workers when he came for a rally and roadshow in Mandi. In the hill state, AAP workers considered this ignorance as an insult and quit the party for self-respect.”
“We are very much disappointed with him (Kejriwal). He could not even turn his eyes towards us who work day and night for the party. Only Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann were the key highlights of the roadshow in Mandi,” Mr Kesari stated.After joining BJP, he also assured Union Minister Anurag Thakur and party national chief JP Nadda of working more harder for the party to bring it back to power in the upcoming assembly polls.
