New Delhi, July 10

Haryana Congress MLA Kuldeep Bishnoi today met Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP chief JP Nadda, triggering speculation that he may join the ruling party.

After the meeting, the 53-year-old MLA from Adampur heaped praises on the BJP leaders. He was expelled by the Congress from all party positions last month for alleged cross-voting in the Rajya Sabha polls.

Since then, he has been warming up to the BJP. Bishnoi also removed his pictures with Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi from his Twitter profile and replaced these with the ones with his father. Bishnoi has been sulking ever since the Congress ignored him for the post of its Haryana unit chief earlier this year.

In a tweet, Bishnoi said it was a “real honour and pleasure to meet Amit Shah”. He said, “A true statesman, I felt his aura and charisma. His vision for India is awe-inspiring.” He went to add that he felt “very proud” to meet Nadda. “His easy-going and humble nature sets him apart,” he said.
