Chandigarh | Congress leaders Raj K Verka, Gurpreet S Kangar, Balbir Sidhu, Kewal S Dhillon, Sunder Sham Arora, Kamaljeet S Dhillon, & SAD leaders Bibi Mohinder Kaur Josh & Sarup Chand Singla, along with Mohali mayor Amarjeet S Sidhu join BJP at party office.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah arrived at the BJP office in Chandigarh post the joining of several Congress & SAD leaders into BJP.

I have been in Congress since I was 30-32 years old. Now I am 60-years-old, worked with all my blood & sweat for the party, but Congress doesn't identify its workers. The way Modi Ji & Amit Shah Ji work, they give credit to their workers: Balbir Singh Sidhu, on joining BJP today

Congress should see why such experienced leaders & workers are leaving the party. If they can't pledge their allegiance to the country & remove the drawbacks of the party, they might even lose the status of being an Opposition: BJP leader Sunil Jakhar, who left Congress recently
