CHANDIGARH: Dalit politician and ex-MP Ashok Tanwar kept to his reputation for frequent party changes as he returned to Congress Thursday, hours after campaigning for BJP at a rally in Jind.
He rejoined Congress at a rally in Mahendragarh district, standing alongside party MP Rahul Gandhi and other senior functionaries. His long-time rival and ex-CM Hooda welcomed him back, marking an end to nearly five years of "estrangement" during which Tanwar had floated his own party before moving to Trinamool and then joining AAP.
He had switched to BJP in Jan this year and was the party's star campaigner in the Haryana assembly polls . A native of Jhajjar district, Tanwar is married to senior Congress member Ajay Maken's niece Avantika Maken.
