A senior Congress leader was welcomed in the saffron party. He is former Jharkhand Congress working president Manash Sinha.
On Monday Sinha joined BJP ahead of the assembly polls. He was welcomed into the saffron party by Jharkhand BJP working president Ravindra Rai and Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who is also BJP's state election co-incharge, during a ceremony at the party's headquarters.
“I have served the Congress party and held different posts for the past 27 years. But, there is no respect left for dedicated workers in the party. So, I decided to join the BJP," Sinha said after joining the saffron camp. Sinha said he resigned from all posts of the Congress party.
