Tejaswini Gowda, a former leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has joined the Indian National Congress, citing her belief in political values and struggles. Gowda expressed her views on the current political landscape, stating that the BJP lacks opportunities for common people in politics and emphasizing the need to safeguard constitutional democracy.
In a statement, Gowda remarked, “In India, we fought for freedom and democracy to give opportunities to the common people in politics. Today, there is no such opportunity in the BJP. We want to save the constitutional democracy.” She expressed her confidence in the Congress party’s resurgence, stating, “Congress is going to emerge once again. It will bounce back.”
Gowda’s decision to join the Congress comes at a crucial juncture in Indian politics, with the country gearing up for several state elections and the Lok Sabha polls on the horizon. Her move reflects a growing trend of leaders switching parties in pursuit of political ideologies and opportunities.
The Congress party has welcomed Gowda’s decision, highlighting her commitment to political values and her aspiration to strengthen democratic principles. Gowda’s entry into the Congress is expected to bolster the party’s presence in Delhi and contribute to its efforts to revive and expand its political base.
