06th January:- A
day after Jagmeet Singh Brar released the first list of TMC's candidates, more
defections within AAP have begun. Today founder member and State Secretary
Tarandeep Sunny resigned from AAP along with their supporters and joined the
TMC.
Tarandeep's departure is being seen
as a major blow to AAP in the Doaba region as he was not only one of the
party's founding members, he was also closely associated with Anna Hazare and
was a member of the 5 member founder committee formed in the state that brought
in all the big names to contest the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, and also as a
member in the State Screening Committee. His organizational role was also
increased as recently as last week when he was appointed State Secretary of the
AAP in Punjab.
The second setback to AAP came when
Baba Pal Singh Randhawa joined the TMC. Baba Pal Singh is a known close
confidant of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and was the link between AAP and the Sant
Samaj in Doaba and has considerable sway in Kartarpur, Shahkot and Adampur and
in the Valmiki & Ramdasiya communities.
The third blow was dealt by Dr Aman
George, president of the Christian Movement in Jalandhar after he withdrew
support from the AAP and joined the TMC.
Others who joined the TMC at the
event today include Youth Committee and District Committee members Uday Pratap
Rathore, Jaskaran Singh, Jaspreet Singh, Chander Kalir, Gurkanwal Preet Singh,
Himmat Randhawa, Pradeep Happy, Adv Jaspal Singh, Gurpreet Singh, Mukesh Vij
and Mandeep Singh.
