India is getting wrapped in the election fever with Lok Sabha Elections 2024 in the backdrop. Almost every day a leader switches his/her allegiance and joins a new party to contest the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. While the BJP has already played a master stroke by roping in Sushil Rinku and Sheetal Angural to bolster its footprint in Punjab, it is time for the grand old Congress party to strengthen its reach in the 'land of five rivers'. As per reports, another 'Gandhi' is all set to join the Congress party and the INC is mulling to field him from the Patiala Lok Sabha seat. The name of the politician is Dharamvir Gandhi. Reports suggest that former MP Dr. Dharamvir Gandhi will join the Congress Party today in New Delhi. Now, the question arises who is Dharamvir Gandhi? 

 

Who is Dharamvir Gandhi?

 

Dharamvir Gandhi is cardiologist by Profession. In 2014, Dharamveer Gandhi won the Lok Sabha elections from Patiala on the Aam Aadmi Party's ticket. After this Dharamveer Gandhi moved away from AAP. Notably, Dharamvir Gandhi defeated Patiala MP Preneet Kaur in 2014.

 

He joined Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in 2013. After winning the Lok Sabha elections from Patiala in 2014, Dharamveer Gandhi soon distanced himself from the party. Preneet Kaur was defeated by Dharamveer Gandhi in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. As per reports, Dharamvir Gandhi got 3,65,671 votes and Preneet Kaur got 3,44,729 votes. He had won by 20,942 votes.

 

After this, before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Dharamveer Gandhi had formed his separate party. This party was named Nawan Punjab. He stood third in these elections. With Dharamveer Gandhi joining Congress, his party will also merge with Congress.

 

It is pertinent to mention here that Congress suffered a major blow after Patiala MP Preneet Kaur joined the BJP. But now with Dharamveer Gandhi joining Congress, the party will get strength in Patiala. If reports are true then Congress can give him a ticket from Patiala. Dharamveer Gandhi is a resident of Patiala.
