Three🦂 former AAP MLAs joined the BJP on Tuesday criticising their former party and its leader Arvind Kejriwal over issues of corruption and neglect of volunteers.

Joining the BJP at the party's national headquarters on DDU Marg, two-time former MLA f🎀rom Delhi Cantt Commando (ex) Surender Singh alleged that AAP distributed all MCD poll tickets in exchange for money.

Singh quit the AAP after he was denied a ticket by the party in the 2020 Assembly polls 📖from🅠 the Delhi Cantt seat.

The two other former AAP MLAs who joi༺ned the BJP were Raju Dhingan an♎d Chaudhary Fateh Singh.

The three ex-MLAs 𒐪defected to BJP in presence of former Union minister Vijay Goel, BJP’s Delhi unit president Adesh Gupta, and the party's national spokesper🃏son Sambit Patra.

"The Aam Aadmi Party is mired in corruption and its leaders and workers are not supporting them. The proof of Aam Aad༒mi Party's corruption is that three of their former leaders are joi✤ning the BJP family today," said Patra.

He alleged that the Delhi Chief Minister 🌺failed in his promise ꦰto send the corrupt to jail, something that he often said he would before he came to power. 

“He should be asked now, how many peo𝓰ple he has sent to jail in eight years of his government in Delhi,” Patra said.

A forme♈r soldier, Surender Singh said, "Questioning the surgical strike after the Uri terror ꦏattack, shows the mentality of Kejriwal."

Chaudhary Fateh Singh, who ꩲhad left the BJP in 2015, sa𓄧id joining BJP was his homecoming.

Dhingan, a former AAP 🍸MLA from Trilokpuri, alleged that common volunteers in the AAP did not get respect and it was evident during t🍷he distribution of party tickets for the MCD polls.

The Delhi BJP president said that the joining of th♋ree former MLAs will give a boost to the party's campaigning for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi꧑ (MCD) polls on December 4.
