Hours after quitting Congress, Vibhakar Shastri, grandson of former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday.

Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak was present during his joining in Lucknow.

In another big blow to the Congress ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha Election, Shastri resigned from the party’s primary membership earlier today.

Taking to X, Shastri tagged congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and said, “I hereby tender my resignation from the primary membership of Indian National Congress.”

Shastri’s resignation comes days after two other congress stalwarts, Ashok Chavan and Baba Siddique quit the Maharashtra unit for the party. While Siddique joined Ajit Pawar faction of NCP, Chavan went to the BJP’s camp.
