Former Delhi Congress President Arvinder Singh Lovely has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), days after resigning from his position citing dissatisfaction with the party's alliance with the AAP. Lovely, along with four other former Congress leaders, made the move in the presence of Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri. Criticizing Congress candidate Kanhaiya Kumar for praising Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Lovely highlighted internal discontent over candidate selections. In the 2019 elections, Lovely contested against BJP's Gautam Gambhir and AAP's Atishi but did not receive a ticket this time due to the alliance.
