Patiala: Suspended Congress MP from Patiala and wife of BJP leader Amarinder Singh, Preneet Kaur joined the BJP in the national capital on Thursday (March 14) ahead of the Lok Sabha polls.
Preneet was suspended from Congress over allegations of engaing in the anti-party activities, following which she aligned herself with the BJP in Patiala, which is her stronghold.
She was suspended in February last year after Punjab Congress leader Amarinder Raja Warring lodged complaint against her regarding engaging in the activities against the party's interests. Warring had accused her of aiding the BJP in Punjab.
She had distanced herself from the Congress activities after the suspension of her husband from the chief ministerial post in 2021.
Praising the Prime Minister after joining the saffron party, Preneet Kaur said, "...I think PM Modi is the best person under whose leadership and with whose policies our country can make progress."
When asked if she would contest elections this time, she said, "I will abide by whatever the High Command orders."
On the possibility of BJP and Akali Dal coming together for Lok Sabha elections, Preneet Kaur said, "It will be good if it happens, but this is something between BJP high command and Akali high command. They will make a decision."
