Raft of inductions for Congress: An MP, an MLA, and a party

Suspended BSP MP from Amroha, Danish Ali, has officially joined the Congress, citing his determination to combat divisive elements in the nation. Former Bihar MP Pappu Yadav also united his Janadhikar Party with the Congress, and Jharkhand assembly's BJP whip Jai Prakash Patel followed suit, marking a series of new inductions that the opposition party views as a positive sign leading up to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
