AAP party’s Joint Secretary of Scheduled Caste, Rupesh Kumar Mehra has joined the BJP in the presence of Manoj Tiwari, Chief of BJP Delhi unit. Rupesh Kumar represents the Scheduled Caste supporters of AAP.
This move may come as a deciding factor as SC votes can sway results of the 35 seats of the Assembly Constituency.
Addressing the media TNS, Mehra said “The BJP government at the Centre was the need of the hour under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said Modi was working 24 hours to get the party back in power, adding that the members of the Valmiki community would also work hard to get all seven parliamentary seats in BJP’s pocket.”
BJP leaders welcomed the development as it can bring all the SC votes under the banner of the party and defeat the AAP, Congress parties from the Delhi State in the upcoming elections.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
