Captain Shalini Singh, also wife of late Major Avinash Singh Bhadauria, who was
killed in action in September 2001, on Tuesday joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)
here.Along with her, the former Vice President of Delhi BJP Purvanchal Morcha,
Shailendra Singh, also joined the party."We are proud to announce that the
country's brave daughter, Captain Shalini Singh, as well as Shailendra Singh
are joining the AAP. We welcome both of them," AAP MP Sanjay Singh told
the media here.Shalini Singh, who joined the Army just three months after her
husband was killed in Doda in Jammu and Kashmir, said she was joining the party
as she believed in the ideology of the AAP and wanted to work for the
betterment of the country.Speaking to the media, she said she joined the AAP as
she had "seen how the party has transformed Delhi in the last four
years".Echoing the sentiments, Shailendra Singh, who was part of the BJP
for 15 years, said the AAP was doing good work whereas the "BJP has become
all about Modi"."The ideology of the BJP was the country came first,
then party and then person. But since 2014, the BJP has become all about Modi
and party has taken a backseat," he said.He accused the BJP of sidelining
those who worked for it for years.
