IN yet another setback for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the party's former councillor from North West Delhi's Bankner, Ram Narayan Bhardwaj, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday. This comes just a day after senior West Delhi politician Harsharan Singh Balli defected to the BJP alongside his son Gurmeet Singh "Rikku" Balli.
Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva formally welcomed Bhardwaj, his son Pradeep, and several supporters to the party in a gathering also attended by Lok Sabha MP Yogendra Chandolia. "With Ram Narayan Bhardwaj's inclusion, the BJP has become even stronger in outer Delhi and is ready to contest the upcoming assembly elections with full strength," Sachdeva said.
