Congress Gains Momentum in Punjab as Dharamvira Gandhi, Former AAP Leader, Joins Party Ranks

Former Patiala MP Joins Congress: Dharamvira Gandhi, Former Patiala MP and cardiologist, officially joined the Congress party, marking a significant shift in Punjab’s political landscape ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

Former Member of Parliament Dharamvira Gandhi made headlines on Monday as he made a pivotal move in his political career by joining the Congress party. Welcomed by senior leaders at the AICC headquarters, Gandhi’s decision to align with the Congress is expected to have far-reaching implications for the region’s political dynamics.

Having previously represented Patiala in the Lok Sabha, Gandhi’s entry into the Congress fold comes as a significant boost for the party’s electoral prospects in the upcoming polls. With speculation rife that Gandhi will be fielded as the Congress candidate from the Patiala seat, his inclusion adds a new dimension to the electoral battleground.

A trained cardiologist by profession, Gandhi rose to political prominence as an AAP candidate in 2014 when he secured victory over Preneet Kaur in the Lok Sabha elections. However, disillusioned with the “high command culture” within the AAP, Gandhi parted ways with the party in 2016 and later formed his own political outfit, the Nawan Punjab Party.

Now, with his decision to merge the Nawan Punjab Party with the Congress, Gandhi’s return to mainstream politics has been met with anticipation and enthusiasm among party ranks. His joining ceremony, attended by key Congress leaders including Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring and CLP leader Pratap Singh Bajwa, signifies a strategic move by the party to consolidate its position in the state.

Speaking on his decision to join the Congress, Gandhi reiterated his commitment to serving the people and expressed his dissatisfaction with the leadership style of the AAP. Praising Gandhi’s move, Bajwa emphasized the positive impact it would have on the Congress, while Warring welcomed the addition of a medical professional to the party’s ranks.

As the political landscape in Punjab continues to evolve, Gandhi’s entry into the Congress fold underscores the party’s efforts to strengthen its electoral prospects and broaden its support base. With his background in healthcare and experience in parliamentary affairs, Gandhi brings a unique perspective to the party, promising to contribute significantly to its agenda of inclusive development and progress.

In the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections, Gandhi’s decision to join the Congress has injected fresh momentum into the party’s campaign efforts, positioning it as a formidable contender in Punjab’s political arena. With his expertise and grassroots connect, Gandhi is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future trajectory of the Congress party in the state.
