New Delhi: In a significant political development, BJP leader and social worker Satish Luthra, along with numerous associates, has joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), showcasing the widespread appeal of the Kejriwal government’s transformative initiatives.
Dilip Pandey, AAP MLA and Chief Whip in the Legislative Assembly, welcomed the new members by adorning them with AAP caps and scarves during a ceremony on Sunday. Ram Niwas Goel, Delhi Legislative Assembly Speaker and AAP MLA from Shahdara, extended a warm welcome to all those joining the party.
Dilip Pandey expressed his pleasure, stating, “Today is a day of great pleasure for the AAP government.” He highlighted that Satish Luthra, inspired by Arvind Kejriwal’s policies, chose to join AAP along with several associates from the BJP.
