The Congress - boosted by strong results in May's Haryana Lok Sabha election, in which it won five of the state's 10 seats - faced a setback Wednesday after two senior leaders jumped ship to the BJP. Kiran Choudhary, a four-time MLA from the Tosham Assembly constituency, and her daughter Shruti, the ex-Bhiwani-Mahendragarh MP, joined the BJP this afternoon in the presence of Union Minister and former Chief Minister ML Khattar and his successor, Nayab Singh Saini.
