Patiala MP Preneet Kaur, Captain Amarinder Singh’s wife and suspended Congress MP, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Delhi on Thursday.

After joining the saffron party, She said, “I will work for my constituency, my state and the country under the leadership of PM Modi. I had a good innings with the Congress party and I hope I’ll have a better innings with the BJP.”

On being asked whether she would contest the Lok Sabha elections, Kaur said, “That depends on the BJP (whether she will contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections or not).”

A four-time MP and a former Union minister, Kaur joined the saffron party in the presence of senior leaders at the BJP headquarters. She was suspended by the Congress in February last year soon after her husband, former Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh, joined the BJP.

The couple’s daughter, Jai Inder Kaur, is also a BJP leader from Punjab.
