The former Congress Uttarakhand chief Kishore Upadhyaya could be a part of the BJP.
In the run-up to Feb 14 Uttarakhand Assembly polls, former Congress state chief Kishore Upadhyaya could join the BJP this Thursday.
Sources from the BJP informed ANI. Upadhyaya might be a candidate in the Assembly elections from the Tehri district.
A few days ago, Congress released its third list of candidates to contest the elections but did not mention Kishore Upadhyaya.

A source close to Upadhyay informed ANI that he sought to revoke his suspension from all posts in the party.
He had communicated this to Congress the leadership as well. Upadhyay was removed from all posts of Congress in a Disciplinary Action.
During the state-wide weeks leading up to Congress, a significant change has changed Harish Rawat’s seat.
The former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Singh Rawat will run for office from Lalkuwa instead of Ramnagar.
Interestingly, Congress has offered an opportunity to daughter Harish Rawat Anupama Rawat from Hardwar Rural constituency, defying the Congress’s policy of “one place, only one family.
Voting for the state legislative assembly of 70 members is scheduled to take place on February 14, while the count of votes will occur on March 10.
