Former Haryana Congress Chief Ashok Tanwar Switches Again, Joins AAP
Mumbai: Former Congress Haryana Party chief Ashok Tanwar on Monday joined the Aam Aadmi Party in the national capital in the presence of the party’s national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Tanwar extended greetings to Kejriwal for giving him a chance to join the party and said that AAP stands for honest politics and strong governance.
His decision to join AAP comes at a time when the Arvind Kejriwal-led party, buoyed by its electoral success in the recent Punjab Assembly elections, is expanding its footprint in the country.
“My commitment to serving people is sacrosanct! As a step forward in my pursuit of public service, I am glad to commit myself to Aam Aadmi Party, which has stood for honest politics and robust governance. My gratitude to Arvind Kejriwal for giving me this opportunity,” Tanwar tweeted.

“I shall strive to work relentlessly for the principles and values that the Aam Aadmi Party has stood for. Haryana is in the throes of unprecedented crisis; people’s confidence in government is at its lowest. People feel betrayed at having been left behind,” he said.
“I call upon the youth, marginalized, peasants, poor, women to join this process of reawakening. Let’s join hands to make a Brighter Haryana, a Better Haryana, a Bold Haryana,” he added.

Tanwar, after quitting the Congress in 2019, is on a party-hopping spree, launching his party ‘Apna Bharat Morcha’ in February 2021. He had joined the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in November 2021.
When he was in charge of the Indian National Youth Congress (INYC), he was known to be a close aide of former Congress President Rahul Gandhi.
Tanwar was the head of INYC. However, after a prolonged war with former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Tanwar quit the Congress in October 2019, ahead of the state assembly elections.
In the 2019 Haryana Assembly elections, Tanwar had extended his support to Dushyant Chautala’s Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) and campaigned against Congress. In 2009, he won the Lok Sabha election from Sirsa in Haryana as a Congress candidate. However, he lost the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
