Former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar joined the Congress on Saturday, saying she could no longer “defend the indefensible” and praising Rahul Gandhi’s “authentic” leadership.

Ms. Kakkar joined the party along with former Uttar Pradesh MLA Shyam Sunder Sharma and former journalist Rajat Rakesh Tandon.

The induction ceremony at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) office on Akbar Road was attended by senior Congress leaders, including general secretary Naseer Hussain, Congress Working Committee members Rajiv Shukla and Pawan Khera and Delhi Congress chief Devendra Yadav.
