AAP Councillors Joined BJP: Political turmoil continues in Delhi in view of the assembly elections. Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party has suffered a major setback just before the elections. Two AAP councillors Ravindra Solanki and Narendra Girsa joined BJP on Friday (17 January). Solanki is a municipal councillor from Baprola and Girsa is a councillor from Mangalapuri.

Both the councillors joined BJP in the presence of Delhi BJP state president Virendra Sachdeva and West Delhi MP Kamaljit Sehrawat. Both the wards come under the constituency of Kamaljit Sehrawat.

What did BJP MP Kamaljeet Sehrawat say?

According to a PTI report, BJP MP Sehrawat said, "Both the councillors were among the founding members of the Aam Aadmi Party and were disillusioned with the politics and policies of the party's national convenor Arvind Kejriwal. Solanki and Girsa have not changed sides, Arvind Kejriwal has changed sides, due to which they were forced to leave the party."
