Gourav Vallabh Leaves Congress, Joins BJP Ahead of Lok Sabha Elections

Citing discomfort with Congress's stance on 'Sanatana Dharma' and criticism of wealth creators, Vallabh switches allegiance.

Gourav Vallabh, a former Congress spokesperson, resigned from Congress citing discomfort with the party's direction, particularly its stance on 'Sanatana Dharma' and criticism of wealth creators.
Shortly after resigning, Vallabh joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), expressing his views on the importance of building the temple of Lord Shri Ram in Ayodhya and critiquing the Congress party's approach towards Hindu society.
Vallabh's resignation and switch to BJP come ahead of the Lok Sabha elections 2024, scheduled to take place in seven phases starting from April 19.
In his resignation letter, Vallabh criticized the Congress for its perceived opposition to the entire Hindu society and its failure to bridge the gap between senior leaders and grassroots workers.
Vallabh's move follows the defection of boxer Vijender Singh from Congress to BJP, highlighting a trend of notable departures from the party.
