A week after joining BJP, MLA back in Congress
Description
BATALA: Sitting Punjab Congress MLA from Sri Hargobindpur constituency Balwinder Singh Laddi rejoined his parent party on Monday a week after quitting and joining BJP. Explaining that he had made a ‘brazen’ mistake and error of judgement in gauging the BJP graph after the Centre withdrew the three contentious farm laws, Laddi told TOI on Monday that he started having second thoughts when his supporters and the voters questioned his decision to join BJP. Rethinking his decision, Laddi said he had realised that BJP had no support from farmers and labourers, the biggest voting bloc of his assembly constituency.“I realised I had committed a mistake and decided to return to Congress,” said Laddi.
