Former chief minister and Punjab Lok Congress chief Amarinder Singh on Monday joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in presence of its senior leaders.
Singh had floated the PLC last year after quitting the Congress following his unceremonious exit as chief minister.
The former Punjab chief minister recently returned from London following a spinal surgery, and met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
After his meeting with Shah on September 12, Singh said he held a very productive discussion on various issues related to national security, rising cases of narco-terrorism in Punjab and the future roadmap for the state’s overall holistic development.
