Rajasthan tribal Congress MLA, tipped for Lok Sabha run, joins BJP

Congress MLA Mahendrajeet Singh Malviya joined BJP. The switch was finalised in a meeting with Amit Shah, JP Nadda, and CM Bhajanlal Sharma. Malviya joined BJP because of PM Narendra Modi's vision and leadership. He seeks national status for Mangarh Dham and credits Modi for acknowledging the 1913 massacre of tribals by the British rulers at the shrine.
