3 Aam Aadmi Party leaders join BJP

March 23, 2014 13:12

Three AAP members -- Dharmaveer Singh, Mahender Kaur Narula and Rajendra Kumar Sonkar -- today joined Bhartiya Janata Party.

Attacking the Aam Aadmi Party for its "non-performance" and shying away from its responsibility, Singh, who lost to BJP candidate Harmeet Singh in the Delhi assembly polls last year from Kalkaji constituency, related his shifting gears to "the wave of change and development promised by the BJP."

"AAP which thrived on eradicating corruption has suddenly shifted its focus to communalism. Despite designing a specific manifesto for 70 constituencies, the party failed to take any concrete action. They faltered on many of their promises," Singh said.

"There is a changed political environment today, where people want honesty, transparency and action. I believe BJP is the only alternative," he added.
