Former legislator and BJP leader Chaudhary Mohan Lal Banga today joined the BSP, saying he was upset with the Modi government's alleged anti-poor and anti-Dalit policies.
Block Samiti chairman Balwinder Ram, Block Samiti member Jaswinder Kaur, former sarpanch of Mehliana village Surinder Singh also joined the BSP with Banga.
Bahujan Samaj Party's Punjab unit in-charge Meghraj and other leaders welcomed them into the party. "From a rented accommodation, Banga has come into his own house," they said.
Banga said he was upset with the Narendra Modi-government's alleged anti-poor and anti-Dalit policies.
"The dilution of SC/ST Act at the behest of Modi government came as a last straw on camel's back," he alleged.
"I decided enough was enough. So I have joined BSP."
