Kuldeep Bishnoi's entry into BJP may hurt prospects of Congress in Hisar

The move came months after Bishnoi had a series of meetings with the BJP leadership

“Let bygones be bygones. We are here to get the country rid of communal forces and eradicate the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from the political map.” This was what Kuldeep Bishnoi, son of former Haryana chief minister (CM) Bhajan Lal, said when he merged his Haryana Janhit Congress (HJC) into the Indian National Congress (INC) in April 2016. Five years later, on August 4, Bishnoi joined the very party he wanted to eradicate. Two days before he formally joined the BJP, he tweeted: “Every bird is injured here, but the one who could fly again is alive.”
