Uttarakhand Political Shift: Ex-BJP, BSP MLAs Join Congress

Three prominent former legislators—Rajkumar Thukral (ex-BJP), Bhimlal Arya (ex-BJP), and Narayan Pal (ex-BSP)—officially joined the Congress party in New Delhi on Saturday.

Alongside the former MLAs, the group included Gaurav Goyal (former Mayor of Roorkee), Anuj Gupta (former Mussoorie Municipal Chairman), and Lakhan Singh Negi (Bhimtal District Panchayat member), signaling a widespread shift in local leadership.

The inductions, overseen by AICC state incharge Kumari Selja and state president Ganesh Godiyal, are viewed as a "bugle" for the 2027 Assembly elections, with Congress claiming rising public dissatisfaction with the Dhami government.

The BJP dismissed the move, with State President Mahendra Bhatt stating that those who joined Congress had already been expelled or distanced from the party and do not represent the current face of the BJP.
