Haryana BJP leader joins Congress

Haryana BJP secretary Jasbir Malore, a former MLA, resigned from the primary membership of BJP Monday and joined the Congress in the presence of former Union Minister Kumari Selja.

Earlier, he had resigned from BJP when he was denied ticket in the 2014 assembly poll, but following the assurance of Union Minister Krishan Pal Gujaar he had taken back his resignation.

He was inactive in BJP since the last one-and-a-half years.

After joining Congress, he said that BJP had failed to fullfill its promises and that Congress was the only party which could keep the country united.

Selja said that Malore would be given due regard in the party.
