Ashok Tanwar first left Congress in 2019, month after being replaced as Haryana unit chief by Kumari Selja. His brother-in-law Ajay Maken played major role in his return, it is learnt.
Tanwar—who left Congress in 2019, joined several parties in succession & was BJP candidate in 2024 LS polls—was reinducted into party in Rahul Gandhi's presence.
Daughter of former Union minister, late Chaudhary Dalbir Singh, Kumari Selja ventured into politics with a byelection in 1988. She won Sirsa seat in the 1991 and 1996 Lok Sabha elections.
Congress's Kumari Selja slams BJP, says those in power think they will intimidate people of Haryana. Political expert sees it as a tactic to 'divide people'.
While INLD & JJP have fielded Sandeep Lot & Ramesh Khatak, contest is heavily tilted towards Congress & BJP. Selja is a two-time local MP, while Tanwar won from here in 2009.
Former Sirsa MP Tanwar is up against Congress’s Kumari Selja, INLD’s Sandeep Lot & JJP’s Ramesh Khatak. ‘Country will soon be Congress-mukt & Opposition-mukt’, he says.
Tanwar quit the Congress in 2019 and joined AAP in 2022. In between, the former Lok Sabha MP had floated his party and even joined the Trinamool Congress for a brief period.
Former Haryana Congress chief Ashok Tanwar joins BJP Saturday. While some question his frequent shifts, BJP says they are ready to welcome ‘asset’ Tanwar.
BJP state spokesperson Sanjay Sharma confirms Tanwar's plans to join BJP has been discussed & adds final call is to be taken by Khattar. AAP leader met chief minister in Delhi.

From Munir’s point of view, a few bumps here and there is par for the course. He isn’t going to drive his dumper truck to its doom. He wants to use it as a weapon.
This seems to represent an unusual record of changing loyalty as per crying need of the hour. What else could explain such ‘fair weather friendship’ in power savvy politics? God save the Indian democracy.
