Kapil Mishra, a former minister of the Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) and AAP women’s wing chief Richa Pandey joined the Bharatiya Janata Party today.
The national president of BJP Shyam Jaju and Unit president Manoj Tiwari welcomed the two new leaders at the party’s office.
“I welcome Kapil Mishra and Richa Pandey into the BJP and hope they will serve Delhi by following the policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and philosophy of Deen Dayal Upadhyay and Syama Prasad Mookerjee,” Mr Tiwari said after welcoming them.
Earlier, when Kapil Mishra was with the Aam Aadmi Party, the Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel had disqualified Kapil Mishra this month under the anti-defection law after he campaigned for the BJP during the Lok Sabha elections in May.
