Bajrang Sena leaders join Congress in presence of state party chief Kamal Nath/ANI
Hindutva outfit Bajrang Sena on Tuesday merged with Congress in Madhya Pradesh months ahead of the assembly polls alleging the Bharatiya Janata Party had come to power in the state by cheating the people's mandate and has deviated from the path.
Bajrang Sena leaders are close to former minister Deepak Joshi, who had quit BJP to join Congress.
The merger happened in the presence of MP Congress president Kamal Nath.
The merger announcement was made by BS national president Rajnish Pateria and coordinator Raghunandan Sharma.
Joshi was also present on the occasion.
BS members presented a mace and memorabilia to Nath and raised slogans of Jai Shriram.
Welcoming the development, Nath alleged Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is making hollow announcements as elections are approaching.
"Chouhan has made more than 20,000 announcements so far which are never implemented. As the assembly polls are nearing, Chouhan is now remembering women, youths and employees. He had done nothing for them in the last 18 years while in power," Nath claimed. -- PTI
