Former Congress MLA from Delhi's Ghonda Assembly constituency Bhisham Sharma on Tuesday joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Sharma joined the BJP in the presence of party's Delhi unit President Manoj Tiwari and its national Vice President Shyam Jaju.
The Congress had on April 25 expelled Bhisham Sharma from the party for six years for engaging in "anti-party activities".
The Ghonda Assembly segment, which Sharma represented earlier, falls under the North East Delhi Lok Sabha constituency.
