All the nine Congress rebel MLAs including former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna have joined the BJP today. They have joined the BJP at the party Headquarters in New Delhi.
The fate of these MLAs were in lurch after Congress won the floor test in Uttarakhand assembly.
The MLAs had met the BJP President last Saturday. The decision to induct them into the BJP was taken after a meeting of party’s central leadership with its Uttarakhand core group including all former chief ministers and MPs, including BC Khanduri, Bhagat Singh Koshiyari and Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank.
