Robin Sampla, the nephew of BJP leader Vijay Sampla and vice president of Punjab BJP’s SC Morcha, has made a significant move by joining the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). His decision to switch parties was announced in the presence of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.
Robin Sampla is reportedly aiming for a ticket from the Jalandhar West seat, vacated by former AAP MLA Sheetal Angural after joining the BJP. His entry into AAP signals his intent to contest the upcoming elections from this constituency.
Amid speculations about Vijay Sampla’s dissatisfaction with BJP’s decisions, including the allocation of the Hoshiarpur ticket to Anita Som Parkash, wife of Union Cabinet Minister Som Parkash, his nephew’s move to AAP adds a new dimension to Punjab’s political landscape.
BJP state president Sunil Jakhar recently reached out to Vijay Sampla in an attempt to address his concerns and maintain party unity. Despite these efforts, Vijay Sampla’s future political trajectory remains uncertain.
While Robin Sampla’s move signals a significant shift, it’s noteworthy that he has yet to reinstate the ‘Modi ka parivar’ tag on his social media accounts, indicating a continued evolution in his political identity and alliances.
Robin Sampla’s decision to join AAP reflects the complex interplay of regional politics and individual ambitions, setting the stage for an intriguing electoral contest in Punjab.
