The Congress on Monday got a major shot in the arm as eight former MLAs and ex-ministers of the State joined the party in the presence of former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Haryana Congress President Udaybhan in a programme held at its headquarters in Chandigarh.
These leaders include Sharda Rathore, Ram Niwas Ghodela, Naresh Selwal, Parminder Singh Dhul, Jile Ram Sharma, Rakesh Kamboj, Rajkumar Valmiki and Subhash Chaudhary. Along with them, Kishanlal Panchal has also left the LSP and joined the Congress. Welcoming these leaders and their workers, Hooda assured them of full respect and honor and said that such a large number of veteran leaders joining together are reflective of the sentiments of the people. "It is clear from these joining that the public sentiments are with the Congress which is getting a good response from the public as it is the only option for the future. The party is on a comeback trail," he said.
