Chandigarh, March 15

Congress MLA Raj Kumar Chabbewal is likely to join the AAP.

Chabbewal on Friday resigned from the Congress as well as from his assembly membership.

He is likely to be fielded from Hoshiarpur parliamentary seat.

He had contested the parliamentary elections from Hoshiarpur on a Congress ticket in 2019 but had lost to the BJP’s Som Prakash.

He is likely to join at Chandigarh. It is a big setback for the Congress.

After former MLA GP Singh from Bassi Pathana, he is the second Congress leader to join AAP.

Reports suggest that the AAP is trying to poach another Congress leader for the Gurdaspur seat.
