In a significant political development, former Congress leader and four-time Lok Sabha MP, Preneet Kaur, officially joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday. The event took place at the BJP headquarters with the presence of senior party leaders.

Preneet Kaur’s decision to join the saffron party comes after her suspension from the Congress in February last year, following her husband, former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh’s entry into the BJP. Despite the political turbulence, Kaur has maintained her position as a Lok Sabha MP from Patiala.

Expressing her happiness on joining the BJP, Preneet Kaur stated, “I am joining BJP today. I am feeling happy. For the last 25 years, I have worked in Lok Sabha and Assembly for Punjab and the country. I want to thank our PM Narendra Modi, party president JP Nadda, and the entire team.”

This move is likely to have significant ramifications in Punjab’s political landscape, especially in the upcoming elections. With Preneet Kaur’s entry, the BJP continues to strengthen its foothold in the state, leveraging prominent political figures to expand its influence.
