Gaurav Vallabh left Congress Party and joined Bharatiya Janata Party

Gaurav Vallabh, who resigned from Congress, has joined BJP. Party leader Vinod Tawde got him membership of the party at the BJP headquarters in Delhi. Along with him, Bihar Congress leader Anil Sharma and RJD leader Upendra Prasad also joined BJP. Earlier, on his decision to leave Congress, Gaurav Vallabh had said that I have written a letter to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and expressed all the feelings of my heart in it.

Congress party should write that we cannot go

On joining BJP, he said, ‘I have written all the pain of my heart in my resignation, which I have told to the Congress party from time to time. I have always believed that a temple of Lord Ram should be built and if we get an invitation and we reject the invitation, then the Congress party should write that we cannot go, I cannot accept it.

Cannot misuse wealth creators

Gaurav Vallabh said, ‘I am a student of economics. I have also taught economics and finance in prestigious institutions of the country for a long time. From morning till evening, abuse the wealth creators, abuse those policies, abuse liberalisation, abuse privatisation, abuse globalisation… the whole world accepts what Manmohan Singh and Narasimha Rao did, you abuse those policies. They abuse. If someone does business, misuses it, someone misuses it for disinvestment, if someone buys Air India, it is wrong… I think the Congress party lacks in solving the issues. I had written the same thing in the letter also.

He said that it is not possible for me to remain silent when Sanatan Dharma is misused. Congress party leaders and their allies raised big questions on Sanatan Dharma, why did they not get answers? He said that I have joined BJP today and I hope to use my skills and knowledge to take India forward.
