New Delhi: Suspended Congress MP from Patiala, Preneet Kaur will formally join the Bharatiya Janata Party in New Delhi on Thursday, sources said.
Kaur is the wife of former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh who also left Congress in 2022 and joined the BJP. Notably, Preneet Kaur was suspended for indulging in anti-party activities and helping the BJP.
In her letter addressed to Congress Disciplinary Action Committee Member Secretary Tariq Anwar, the Patiala MP said, "At the onset, I am surprised to see that a person who left the Congress party in 1999 on the issue of Mrs Gandhi being a foreign national, and stayed out for 20 years till 2019, and had to face disciplinary action himself, is now questioning me on a so-called disciplinary matter."

I owe it to them and will continue to serve them, as always. I derive my strength from my people. Everything else is secondary."
