Exodus continues in Congress! Rebel Congress MLA Aditi Singh joins BJP

 Lucknow, November 25: It seems like the crisis continues in the Congress party as ahead of the Uttar Pradesh state assembly election 2022, rebel Congress leader and MLA from Rae Bareli, Aditi Singh, has joined the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in Lucknow.

 

 

The move is being seen as a setback to the Congress party, which is already struggling to regain its lost political grounds in the state ahead of the 2022 UP polls.

 

 

 

 

The 34-year-old rebel Congress leader was elected as a member of the UP Legislative Assembly in 2017. She is the daughter of the late Akhilesh Singh, who was elected as MLA five times. Singh has been a vocal critic of her party and its leaders, including Priyanka Gandhi. She has voiced support for the BJP government in UP on more than one occasion.

 

 

Last week, she slammed Priyanka Gandhi over her reaction to PM Modi’s announcement of the decision to repeal the Agriculture Laws. News Agency ANI quoted her saying, "Priyanka Gandhi had a problem when bills were brought. She has a problem when the Laws (Farm Laws) have been repealed. What does she want? She should say it clearly. She is only politicising the matter. She has now run out of issues to politicise."

 

 

 

In May, the congress party suspended her from the women’s wing after she criticised her party for arranging 1,000 buses for migrants during the Covid-19 lockdown.

 

Aditi Singh had earlier expressed her support to the BJP-led central government’s move to abrogate provisions of Article 370 of the Constitution that abrogated Jammu and Kashmir’s special status.
