At the national level, there are rumours that senior Cong leader Manish Tewari is joining the BJP.
Reports indicated that Tewari had been communicating with the BJP, with suggestions that he was interested in running for the Ludhiana parliamentary constituency under the BJP’s banner.
This development coincided with ongoing speculation about the potential defection of former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath, his son Nakul, and other MPs to the BJP before the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Kamal Nath and his son Nakul Nath are reportedly in communication with the BJP leadership regarding a possible switch in political allegiance. The rumors intensified after Kamal Nath’s arrival in Delhi on Saturday.
Addressing reporters in the capital, the seasoned politician stated that if any such move were to occur, he would disclose it to the media first. |
