Karan Dev joins Cong.
Chandigarh: Former Haryana minister Karan Dev Kamboj, who recently stepped down as OBC Morcha chief of the BJP’s state unit after being denied a ticket to contest next month’s Assembly polls, quit the saffron party Friday and joined the Congress. Kamboj was eyeing a ticket from either the Radaur or the Indri seats. He joined the Congress in the presence of former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Haryana Congress chief Udai Bhan, a statement said. Kamboj last week claimed that the BJP rewarded many new entrants and turncoats with tickets while ignoring those who had worked for the party for years.
