Punjab MLAs Balwinder Singh Laddi and Fateh Jung Singh Bajwa joining the BJP on December 28. (Twitter/@BSLaddiOfficial) Sri Hargoindpura MLA Balwinder Singh Laddi, who had left the Congress to join the BJP a few days ago, has returned to the party.
He was inducted into the party in the presence of Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and AICC in-charge Harish Chaudhary late on Sunday. The Congress was trying to get him back ever since he had quit the party and had also promised him a ticket from his constituency.
The Congress had earlier signalled that Laddi may not get a ticket but decided to offer him the candidature once he joined the BJP. A Congress leader said that it was an achievement for the party to get him back.
