BJP Leader Hemant Sengar Returns To Congress With Dozens Of Supporters

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Hemant Sengar joined the Congress along with dozens of his associates in Hathras, in what the Congress described as a setback for the BJP. Several people took Congress membership during a programme organised under the leadership of Hathras District Congress President Pt. Vivek Upadhyay.

Sengar and the other new members formally joined the Congress and expressed their faith in the party. The membership programme was held as part of the Congress organisation’s campaign to strengthen its presence in the district.

Along with Hemant Sengar, Krishna Kant Sharma, Advocate, former pradhan of Utra Pawan Kushwaha, Jitendra Singh Chaudhary of Vilkhora, Chirag Sengar, Suraj Kumar, Ved Prakash Kushwaha, Devendra Kumar Sharma, Ranveer Baghel and Dharmo Pandit Ji of Tilothi also joined the Congress.

Welcoming the new members into the Congress family, District Congress President Pt. Vivek Upadhyay said that the return of Hemant Sengar and his associates would give fresh strength to the organisation.

Upadhyay said the Congress had always raised its voice for the interests of ordinary people, farmers, labourers and traders. He said people from different sections of society were joining the Congress, which reflected their hope for change in the coming period.

He said the Congress organisation was being strengthened up to the booth level keeping the upcoming 2027 Assembly election in view. The new members would be given respect and responsibilities within the organisation, he said, so that everyone could jointly raise public issues more strongly.

Sengar says he does not agree with BJP ideology

After returning to the Congress, Hemant Sengar said he did not agree with the BJP’s ideology. He said the condition of the trading community was continuously deteriorating under the BJP government.

According to Sengar, traders were facing several problems, but the government did not appear to be making serious efforts to address their concerns. He said the problems of the trading community were being ignored.

Sengar said that while he was associated with the BJP, he had closely observed its politics and ideology. However, he said he could not connect himself with them.

He said the Congress ideology spoke about the interests of the poor, farmers, labourers, traders and the common people. He said he had returned to the Congress along with his associates because of this belief.

Sengar also said that under the leadership of Pt. Vivek Upadhyay, he would work with complete dedication to strengthen the Congress organisation and raise public problems prominently.

District Congress General Secretary Naveen Upadhyay, District General Secretary Shri Krishna, Advocate, Himanshu Kaushik and other Congress office-bearers and workers were present at the programme.

The Congress workers welcomed the new members. They also resolved to begin preparations for the upcoming Assembly election and strengthen the organisation up to the booth level.
