Anwarul Haque joins BJP
By Our Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI,
FEB. 4.
Anwarul Haque, an MP representing the Sheohar constituency in Bihar, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party today while merging his breakaway faction of the Rashtriya Janata Dal, called the Bharatiya Sanyukta Loktantrik Party, with the BJP.
Separately, but at the same venue, Mrs. Usha Krishna Kumar, an office-bearer of the Congress Mahila Morcha, also decided to join the BJP, following in the footsteps of her husband, Krishna Kumar.
The party president, Venkaiah Naidu, and the External Affairs Minister, Yashwant Sinha, were present at the central party office to welcome Mr. Haque and others and to claim that this time round the BJP and its allies in Bihar would together win "40 out of 40 Lok Sabha seats" as against the 30 the alliance won in 1999.
Claiming that he could feel a ``wave'' similar to the one felt in 1977 after the Emergency, Mr. Naidu exhorted the minorities to vote for the BJP, become a part of the party and then see what place the party gave them.
