Chandigarh (Punjab):Amid the ongoing crisis in Punjab Congress, Daljit Singh Bhola Grewal, the State Congress Committee General Secretary, joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday along with hundreds of his associates. The AAP Punjab president and Member of Parliament Bhagwant Mann, Punjab affairs co-in charge and MLA from Delhi, Raghav Chadha and MLA Prof Baljinder Kaur formally inducted and welcomed Grewal and his associates during a press conference held here in Chandigarh.
After joining the AAP, Grewal said, "Due to the anti-Punjab and genocidal policies of the Congress government, he has decided to leave the Congress and join the Aam Aadmi Party. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had always worked for the interest of the common man and the people would benefit from the formation of the AAP government in Punjab." On the occasion, Mann said, "The people from all walks of life in Punjab were joining the AAP as they were impressed by the pro-people policies of the party and the work of Delhi's Arvind Kejriwal government."
