Karan Dev Kamboj, former Minister and president of the BJP's OBC Morcha in Haryana, joined the Congress party on September 13, 2024, following his resignation from the BJP due to being denied a ticket for the upcoming assembly elections. Kamboj criticized the BJP for neglecting the OBC community and expressed his intention to work against BJP candidates in the Radaur and Indri constituencies. His departure is seen as a significant blow to the BJP, particularly in regions where they rely heavily on OBC votes, and could bolster Congress's chances in the forthcoming elections. Former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda welcomed Kamboj, asserting that the BJP's policies are anti-SC and anti-OBC, leading to Kamboj's resignation. Meanwhile, other BJP leaders, like Gopaldas Agrawal, are also quitting the party, indicating potential shifts in political alliances ahead of state elections.
