Ashok Tanwar's Homecoming: A Congress Comeback

In a political twist, Ashok Tanwar, a senior leader, rejoins Congress at a Haryana rally with Rahul Gandhi. Tanwar left Congress in 2019 over party differences but returns ahead of key assembly polls, boosting Congress's hopes against BJP.

In a significant political development, senior leader Ashok Tanwar has rejoined the Congress at a rally held by Rahul Gandhi in Mahendragarh, Haryana, just two days before the state elections.

As Rahul Gandhi concluded his speech, a surprising announcement invited the audience to stay for a momentous occasion. Tanwar, who had previously defected to the BJP earlier this year, took to the stage, symbolically marking his return to the Congress party.

The move is anticipated to galvanize Congress's efforts in the Haryana Assembly polls as they aim to challenge the BJP's decade-long rule. Tanwar, formerly aligned with Gandhi, had departed the Congress in 2019 but has now rekindled his affiliations, garnering a warm welcome from fellow leaders.
