Anoop Kesari, the head of the AAP’s Himachal Pradesh chapter, joined the BJP late Friday night in the presence of Union Minister Anurag Thakur and party chief JP Nadda. At Nadda’s residence in the national capital, AAP’s general secretary (organisation) Satish Thakur and Una president Iqbal Singh also switched allegiance to the BJP. Thakur, who is rumoured to have played a key role in these inductions, took to Twitter to claim that the aforementioned leaders had taken this move in response to the Arvind Kejriwal-led party’s anti-Himachal Pradesh policies.
