New Delhi, Sep 6 (IANS) Hours after resigning from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), disgruntled leader Alka Lamba on Friday said she will be rejoining the Congress.
Lamba said that she will be joining the Congress again in the presence of interim President Sonia Gandhi at her residence at 10, Janpath.
“I will be going to the residence of Sonia Gandhi at 6 p.m. and will take the primary membership of the Congress in her leadership,” she told the media.
