Day after quitting as Punjab MLAs, 3 AAP rebels come into BJP fold
Three former AAP MLAs from Punjab join BJP a day after resigning, citing concerns over rising crime, drugs and gangsterism in the poll-bound state

NEW DELHI: A day after resigning as MLAs in Punjab, three AAP members joined BJP here on Monday, giving a boost to the saffron outfit in the poll-bound state.BJP is making an all-out push to emerge as a serious contender for office in the state after languishing on the margins so far.Chetan Singh Jouramajra, a former cabinet minister elected from Samana, former IPS officer Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, who won from Amritsar North, and Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra, who represented Sanaur in the assembly, decried “rising” gangsterism and drug abuse in the state and expressed confidence in BJP’s ability to turn things around as they joined the party.In his remarks, Vijay Pratap Singh said, “Crime, drugs, corruption and gangsterism are rampant in Punjab. Bhagwant Mann and Arvind Kejriwal have completely uprooted and destroyed AAP, which was born from a revolutionary mindset.”
