Ahead of the Punjab Assembly elections slated for 2022, former Aam Aadmi Party MLA Rupinder Kaur Ruby on Wednesday joined the Punjab Congress, one day after quitting her former party on Tuesday. Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi and the party's state chief Navjot Singh Sidhu welcomed her to the party in Chandigarh. Ruby was earlier an AAP MLA from Bhatinda Rural.
She had announced the decision to quit the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) through her Twitter handle on Tuesday night.
“Mr. @ArvindKejriwal ji Convener, AAP & @BhagwantMann Ji This is hereby to inform u that I am resigning with immediate effect from the membership of Aam Aadmi Party. Please accept my resignation. Thx Rupinder Kaur Ruby. (MLA Bti. rural),” Ruby said in a tweet.
Reacting to her resignation, AAP MLA and Leader of Opposition in the Punjab Assembly Harpal Singh Cheema on Wednesday took a dig at Ruby, saying she was joining the Congress as she did not have any chance to get the AAP ticket for contesting the upcoming state assembly elections.
