In a major setback to the Aam Aadmi Party ahead of the general elections, its lone Lok Sabha MP Sushil Kumar Rinku joined the Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday.
Rinku represented Jalandhar in Punjab in the lower house.
A former Congress MLA, Rinku had switched to the AAP on April 27, 2023, and a day later, was declared the AAP candidate from the Jalandhar parliamentary constituency.
Reports said Rinku is now likely to contest the Lok Sabha election on a BJP ticket.
