Former bureaucrat and JD(U) MP from Rajya Sabha NK Singh and author and senior journalist MJ Akbar, who was once Congress’ lok Sabha MP and spokesperson, became the latest entrants into the BJP camp.
The two, who joined in the presence of party president Rajnath Singh on Saturday, said that only the BJP can provide the purposive and resolute policies and that Narendra Modi’s leadership was essential for the country. They also strongly backed the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate.
Singh said there are only allegations against Modi (on Gujarat riots). Akbar, who was a Congress MP from Kishanganj in Bihar between 1989 and 1991, said no other leader has gone through as much scrutiny as Narendra Modi.
