In another blow to Congress in Uttar Pradesh ahead of Lok Sabha elections, AICC national secretary and co-in-charge of Bihar Ajay Kapoor joined the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) on Wednesday. The grand old party wanted to field Kapoor, who had been MLA from Kanpur, in the Lok Sabha elections from Kanpur seat.
The development occurs after the I.N.D.I.A bloc rally was held in Patna on March 3, and Congress and RJD leaders were scheduled to meet in Delhi in the coming days to finalise a seat-sharing agreement in Bihar.
