Shazia Ilmi likely to join BJP

Former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Shazia Ilmi will on Thursday join Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), reports said on Wednesday.

Ilmi is likely to contest Delhi Assembly Elections against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal from New Delhi constituency, reports added.

If the reports are true, it will be interesting to watch the erstwhile allies taking on each other in the highly-pitched battle for Delhi.

Imli had resigned from AAP last year, saying there was lack of democracy within the party.

“There is lack of inner party democracy within the Aam Aadmi Party. The party which talks about `Swaraj` has failed to apply it within the party,” Ilmi had said.
