Former Union Minister Birender Singh made a significant political move on Tuesday by officially joining the Congress party, merely a day after stepping down from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). His wife, Prem Lata, a former BJP MLA from Haryana, also aligned with the Congress, marking a notable shift for the family. This development follows closely on the heels of their son, Brijender Singh, who had joined the Congress approximately a month earlier. Birender Singh’s decision to switch parties was confirmed as he was welcomed into the Congress fold in the presence of prominent leaders. In his statement regarding the move, Birender Singh emphasized his resignation from the BJP and highlighted his wife’s departure from the party. This move comes after Birender Singh’s nearly decade-long association with the BJP, following over four decades with the Congress. Speculation had been rife regarding his potential switch after his son’s decision to join the Congress on March 10. The family’s alignment with the Congress signifies a significant shift in the political landscape, particularly in Haryana.
