Kandari back in Congress

BJP leader Matbar Singh Kandari and his son Rajiv Kandari joined the Congress here today in the presence of Chief Minister Harish Rawat and Pradesh Congress Committee President Kishore Upadhyay.
Welcoming them into the Congress fold, Upadhyay said their induction will strengthen the party ahead of the February 15 Assembly polls.
This is the second time in four years that Kandari has joined the Congress.
He had quit BJP to join the Congress after the 2012 Assembly elections but rejoined the saffron party just about a year later.
