Dalvir Singh Goldy joins Punjab AAP, day after quitting Congress

Punjab Chief Minister and AAP leader Bhagwant Mann welcomes former Congress MLA Dalvir Singh 'Goldy Khangura' as he joins the party, in Sangrur.


Quitting Congress on April 30, the former grand old party MLA Dalvir Singh Goldy today, on Wednesday joins Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). He was welcomed to the party fold by AAP leader and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann who referred to Goldy as his 'younger brother', and praised him for his hard work. 

 

"We welcome him along with his supporters," CM Mann said. 

 

Goldy left Congress over the denial of the ticket from the Sangrur Lok Sabha seat. 

 

Goldy worked a lot and became an MLA but he was ignored by the Congress, Mann, who was flanked by AAP candidate from Sangrur seat Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer, said.  

 

"I welcome him (Goldy) as my younger brother in the family," Mann said, adding the party will be further strengthened by his joining. 

 

Goldy, who had unsuccessfully contested the 2022 assembly polls from Dhuri seat against Mann, said he will perform whatever task is assigned to him.  

 

To a question, Goldy said he was kind of thrown out of the party. He said though he worked hard, the party gave the ticket to someone else. In his resignation letter to the Congress' Punjab chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, Goldy has said he was "upset" with the state leadership and resigning from the party's primary membership. 

 

The Congress had named three-time MLA Sukhpal Khaira from the Sangrur parliamentary seat. 

 

Mann trashed Congress leader Khaira's allegations that Goldy was threatened with action from the Vigilance Bureau to join the AAP, "Who pressurised him (Khaira) to switch parties many times. He has no right to make such allegations. It is the BJP which could use central agencies like ED against political opponents," he said. 

 

On April 16, Goldy had expressed his "displeasure" over the denial of the party ticket from the Sangrur Lok Sabha seat and had urged the party high command not to "betray anyone". 

 

The former MLA had said that the party had made a "commitment" to him during the 2022 Sangrur bypoll that he would be fielded in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
