Dhull to campaign for Congress candidate in Baroda
Description
Chandigarh: Four days after resigning from primary membership of BJP, former MLA Parminder Singh Dhull, on Sunday, announced that he would campaign for Congress candidate Induraj Narwal in the Baroda byelection. The current development is consequent to the close-door meeting of Dhull and leader of opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda at Dhull’s Jind residence. The two leaders had a long meeting, following which Dhull made the formal announcement on Sunday morning. “As of now, I have just decided to support the candidate of the Congress in Baroda byelection and there is no decision of joining any party. We shall certainly consult our workers before taking any such major decision,’’ said Dhull while interacting with media persons in Jind. Dhull resigned from the BJP citing the farm bills passed this month. Putting in his papers, Dhull said that he, along with other leaders, had waited for the response of state government on the farm bills. Dhull’s son, who was a panellist of BJP on various TV news channels, had also resigned from the posts.
