In political wilderness for a while, former Congress Working Committee member Jagmeet Singh Brar on Tuesday announced that he will extend "unconditional" support to AAP in Punjab after forming an "issue-based alliance" with the party.
Expelled from the Congress earlier this year, Brar had been offering an olive branch to the AAP for a while and the modalities of his "support" were being worked out for a while.
Describing AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal as "messiah on the country's political landscape", he said his front 'lokhit Abhiyan' will give unconditional support to the party in the state.
"This is an alliance on Punjab's issues with AAP. There is no condition from my side whatsoever like position or anything. The only issue is that Punjab's vote should not be divided," Brar, who was expelled from Congress in April, he said.
Workers of lokhit Abhiyan will support the AAP in order to defeat Congress and SAD-BJP combine in coming Punjab polls, he said. The former MP clarified that it was an alliance and he was not joining AAP.
Asked whether he will contest Punjab polls, Brar said he would leave the decision to the leadership of AAP. "Whatever decision AAP takes regarding elections, that will be obeyed," he said.
