Punjab: Malvinder Singh Kang, who quit BJP over farm laws, joins AAP
Description
CHANDIGARH: Former state general secretary of Punjab BJP, Malvinder Singh Kang on Wednesday joined the AAP along with his associates. A two-time president of the Panjab University Students’ Council, Kang was also the spokesperson of BJP’s state unit and a member of the party’s core group for Punjab. Kang was formally inducted into the party by Punjab affairs in-charge Jarnail Singh, leader of opposition (LoP) Harpal Singh Cheema and MLA Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer. “I quit the BJP against the farm laws in October last year, as despite long protest by farmers the party refused to address their concerns. Punjab needs an alternative politics... Congress and Akalis have ruined the state financially. The money-spinning sectors like mining, excise and transport have been taken over by political mafias. On the other hand, the Kejriwal-led Delhi government has delivered by practicing issue-based politics, which is also the need of the hour in Punjab,” he said. Jarnail informed that Kang was also the national executive member of the BJP Yuva Morcha and served as the in-charge of the Haryana Yuva Morcha.
