Gujarat's Former Congress Candidate Rohan Gupta Joins BJP

BY A STAFF REPORTER: Rohan Gupta, a former Congress candidate from Gujarat for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, joined the BJP in New Delhi on April 11, Wednesday. 

The Congress nominated Rohan Gupta from the Ahmedabad East Seat constituency on March 12. However, Rohan Gupta tendered his resignation on March 22, alleging constant humiliation and character assassination by a Congress leader connected with the communication department. Previously, he withdrew his candidature on March 18 due to his father's ill health. 

After joining the party, Rohan Gupta took a jibe at the Congress and stated "How many contradictions can be there? There is a communication in charge who has 'Ram' in his name, he told us to keep quiet when Sanatan (Dharma) was being insulted. An alliance using the country's name was made but 'desh virodhi takatein' were included in it. What is the compulsion that Kejriwal who was accused of being connected with Khalistanis today is being supported by them?"
