JAIPUR – In a surprising political move, Prahlad Gunjal, a prominent figure in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has left the party to join the Indian National Congress. This decision has sparked a flurry of reactions within the political circles.
Satish Poonia, a senior BJP leader, addressed the media regarding this development. He stated, “This is an exception. Very few leaders of the BJP have switched over to the Congress, but there have been a lot of cases the other way around.”
Poonia further emphasized the rising popularity of the Nationalist ideology, both in India and globally. He believes that this ideological shift is drawing people together, hinting at the influx of leaders from other parties into the BJP.
Despite the departure of Gunjal, Poonia remains confident about the BJP’s prospects in the upcoming elections. He attributes this confidence to the party’s strong organization, ideology, and leadership.
“This will not affect the party and upcoming elections in any way because BJP has a good organisation, good ideology, and good leadership,” Poonia asserted.
The political landscape continues to shift as parties gear up for the forthcoming elections. It remains to be seen how this recent development will play out in the political arena and what impact it will have on the electoral outcomes.
