Ex-BJP MLA Anil Jha joins AAP after exit of Kailash Ghalot

Jha’s switch to AAP is considered significant

Jha’s move to AAP is being seen as a possible shot in the arm for the party in the area that was BJP bastion for decades.

It has a strong presence in Kirar.

In his statement, Jha praised the AAP national chief Arvind Kejriwal for his work with the Purvanchali community in Delhi, saying, “If there is one person who has worked for the Purvanchali community in Delhi, it is Arvind Kejriwal.”

“Anil Jha is considered one of the greatest leaders of Purvanchal. People from UP and Bihar come to Delhi for study and work. When the DDA failed to build houses for the poor, then illegal colonies were built and a large number of people from Purvanchal were living in them,” Kejriwal said.

“When I became CM, for the first time I started laying roads, sewers, water pipelines… Out of 1,750 illegal colonies, we laid water pipelines in 1,650.”
