The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has dealt a major blow to the Congress in the Malwa region. After Gurmeet Singh Khudian, a close associate of Captain Amarinder Singh; Jagroop Singh Gill, an ally of Finance Minister Manpreet Badal and former chairman of Bathinda Improvement Trust, joined the Aam Aadmi Party along with hundreds of his associates. The former Congress leader was formally  welcomed by AAP’s senior leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Harpal Singh Cheema, Punjab affairs incharge Jarnail Singh along with MLAs Meet Hayer, Prof Baljinder Kaur, Rupinder Kaur Ruby and party’s state general secretary Harchand Singh Barsat, at the party headquarters here on Monday.

He said the joining of Khudian and Gill in the AAP had broke the back of the Congress party in Bathinda along with the entire Malwa region.

We will support the Aam Aadmi Party in Malwa and in the entire Punjab, as the state awaits the AAP government.” He further said that instead of playing politics, he would work to strengthen the party so that corruption would be eradicated from Punjab and closed factories would be reopened.
