21 AAP leaders and workers from Sangrur(Punjab) join Congress in presence of Captain Amarinder Singh.
A day after outspoken Congress leader Sukhpal Khaira joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab, the opposition party Congress said leaders of the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal and AAP have joined its fold.
Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh announced that 34 members of the Akali Dal from Suman and 21 leaders of the AAP from Sangrur district have joined the party.
Those who joined included former SGPC (Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee) member Inder Mohan Singh.
Interacting with the media here, Amarinder Singh apologised that senior Congress leader and former lawmaker Jagmeet Brar was not invited to address a big rally that the Congress party organised in Bathinda earlier this month.
"I apologise to him for this," Mr Amarinder said, with Mr Brar seated next to him at the press conference.
Mr Amarinder said that the exit of Mr Khaira from the Congress would not affect the Congress in Punjab.
