Inderjeet Singh, the grandson of former President Giani Zail Singh, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday.
Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri handed over membership to Inderjeet Singh at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi.
Giani Zail Singh was the seventh President of India and served his term from 1982 to 1987. He also held several important ministerial posts in the then congressional government of Indira Gandhi.
“Today my grandfather’s wish has come true. The way the Congress treated him, despite his loyalty, is known to everyone,” said Inderjeet Singh.
Inderjeet Singh said when his grandfather retired as president of the country, he asked him to get into politics and meet BJP mortal Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Inderjeet Singh, who was aiming for a film career at the time, campaigned for the BJP for a while without joining the party.
“When my grandfather died, I went back to Punjab and started working for the Vishwakarma Society. Today I am happy that I fulfilled my grandfather’s wish, ”he said.
Hardeep Singh Puri praised Inderjeet Singh for his social work. “There are many differences and personality conflicts in the current government in Punjab. When we are joined by people like you (Inderjeet Singh) and others, it will give us strength to overcome challenges in Punjab,” he said.
