Dissident MLA Hissowal returns to AAP fold

AAP MLA Jagtar Singh Jagga Hissowal rejoined AAP saying that parting ways with it was his "biggest mistake". Notably, on November 1, Rupnagar MLA Amarjit Singh Sandoa had returned to the AAP-fold, one and a half years after defecting to the ruling Congress.

Chandigarh: An AAP MLA, who had fallen out with his party after the removal of his former colleague Sukhpal Singh Khaira in 2018 as leader of opposition in Punjab assembly, on Friday buried his hatchet with the party saying parting ways with it was his "biggest mistake".

AAP MLA Jagtar Singh Jagga Hissowal, who had been keeping aloof from parties activities, came back to the party fold praising the leadership of AAP national president and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

"I was elected AAP MLA from Raikot under the visionary leadership of Arvind Kejriwal, but due to some unfounded misunderstandings, I parted ways with the party, which was the biggest mistake of life, I realised later. I was misled by some vested interests," Hissowal said in a statement.

"The inspiration behind my returning to the party is the services being rendered by the Arvind Kejriwal government, leaders and volunteers of the party to the farmers from across the country fighting for their livelihood, he added.
