Former Congress MP Naveen Jindal Joins BJP Ahead of Lok Sabha Elections
Former Member of Parliament and industrialist, Naveen Jindal, has made a significant move in his political career by switching party allegiance from Congress to BJP in the lead up to the impending Lok Sabha elections.
Jindal, the Chairman of Jindal Steel and Power, expressed his gratitude towards the leadership of Congress, particularly acknowledging former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, in his official resignation note.
In ceremonious visuals shared online, Naveen Jindal was seen affiliating with the BJP in Delhi, clarifying the public that he is no longer associated with the Congress party.
Naveen Jindal took to social media to announce his departure from the Congress party, where he had previously represented the Kurukshetra constituency in the Parliament for a decade.
Following his induction into the BJP, Naveen Jindal voiced his eagerness to contribute to Prime Minister Modi‘s vision of a developed India, expressing his willingness to support the government in achieving the ‘Viksit Bharat’ goal.
This strategic move by Jindal marks him as the latest prominent Congress figure to have transitioned to the BJP camp, joining the likes of Ashok Chavan, Suresh Pachouri, Ajay Kapoor, Milind Deora, Baba Siddique, and others.
Additionally, military figures such as RKS Bhadauria and former YSR Congress MP Varaprasad Rao also joined the BJP recently, citing their admiration for the government’s efforts to bolster national security and self-reliance.
