Former Union Minister Jaswant Singh’s Son To Join Congress.

Mumbai : Manvendra Singh, son of veteran BJP leader Jaswant Singh has distinct to join the Congress for the political development forth of assembly elections in Rajasthan.

MLA Manvendra Singh decided to quit BJP in his ‘Swabhiman Rally’ held in Barner last month where he said “Kamal ka phool, badi bhool”.

Stating to PTI, Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee President Sachin Pilot told, “Manvendra Singh is joining the Congress in New Delhi tomorrow.”

Mostly he would be joining Congress along with his wife Chitra Singh.

On the other hand, Bhartiya Janta party (BJP) said that the move will not make any difference in Western Rajasthan.

“It is a politically wrong decision of Manvendra Singh which will have no impact on the BJP. Rajput votes have been with the BJP and will remain with us,” Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rajendra Rathore told reporters.

The elections will be held on December 7 in Rajasthan.

Manvendra Singh was elected as a BJP candidate from the Sheo assembly constituency of Barner District in 2013 assembly polls.

Where, his father Jaswant Singh did not accept the ticket by the party on 2014 Lok Sabha elections, after which he ideally contested for the elections where he lost to BJP’s Sonaram, who had joined the party Congress and was backed by Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje.

The verdict of not allowing Jaswant Singh to contest the 2014 Lok Sabha polls estranged the Rajput Community that held Raje responsible for abandoning Jaswant Singh for an “outsider” Sonaram.

Even there was bitterness among his supporters who rallied after Manvendra Singh making it an issue on their “Swabhiman”
