Himanshu Vyas joined the Bhartiya Janta Party on Saturday just hours after he resigned from the post of secretary and in charge of Overseas Congress.
Earlier in a letter addressed to Mallikarjun Kharge, he wrote, " I Hereby resign as secretary of the All India Congress Committee and in-charge of the Overseas congress. I also resign from Party's primary membership."
Just a day earlier, Congress had released the first list of 43 candidates for the Gujarat Assembly elections. The list came after party president Mallikarjun Kharge chaired a meeting of the party's central election committee (CEC) during which several candidates for the upcoming elections were finalized.
