BENGALURU:

Former Congress leader and senior Supreme Court lawyer Brijesh Kalappa joined the Aam Aadmi Party here on Monday. He was welcomed into the party by AAP’s Karnataka in-charge Dilip Pandey.

Kalappa, who was Congress’ known face on news channel debates had resigned from the primary membership of the party in May, ending his 25-years long association with the grand old party.

Appreciating the Arvind Kejriwal-led party’s government in Delhi for working for the welfare of the people, Kalappa on joining the party said, it is showing the country what quality governance is like. ”The AAP has the potential to counter the BJP’s misrule which lacks even the slightest concern for the common man. The future of the country will be strengthened only if AAP wins and comes to power in various upcoming elections,” he said.

ಸುಪ್ರೀಂ ಕೋರ್ಟ್‌ ವಕೀಲರೂ, ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಕಾನೂನು ಸಲಹೆಗಾರರೂ, ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ವಕ್ತಾರರಾಗಿದ್ದ ಬ್ರಿಜೇಶ್ ಕಾಳಪ್ಪ ಇಂದು ಎಎಪಿ ಸೇರ್ಪಡೆ! ಅವರಿಗೆ ಹೃತ್ಪೂರ್ವಕ ಸ್ವಾಗತ.

Welcoming Kalappa to the party, AAP’s state president Prithvi Reddy said good leaders are being sidelined by parties like the BJP, Congress and JD(S), as they need leaders who loot people’s tax money in the form of commissions and not honest leaders. ”The leaders of those parties are always planning to sideline good people, people without money and muscle power. As a result, many good politicians are turning towards the Aam Aadmi Party. AAP’s truthfulness in politics and keeping up with promises is attracting good minds,” he added. PTI
