Two-time MLA Anil Joshi joins Congress; here's how his switch may shakeup Punjab politics

Former Punjab Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) minister and two-time MLA from Amritsar North, Anil Joshi, joined the Congress on Wednesday. Known for his influence in Amritsar and past stints in the BJP and Akali Dal, Joshi’s return to active politics via the Congress seems to reshape future electoral contests. Joshi joined the Congress on Wednesday in the presence of senior leaders including Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring and former Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel.
