Rajasthan polls: Former Haryana Congress chief Ashok Tanwar, several leaders join BJP
In a significant blow to the Congress ahead of the Rajasthan Assembly elections, former minister Ram Gopal Bairwa, ex-MLA Ashok Tanwar, and other leaders joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The induction, in the presence of Rajasthan BJP President CP Joshi and MP Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, signals a potential "Congress-mukt" Jhotwara constituency. Tanwar, once close to Rahul Gandhi, had left Congress in 2019, launching his party before joining TMC in 2021.
