At times we lose focus on what we want and need and travel down the wrong path and make wrong decisions. But we need to have the courage to realize our mistake and right those decisions.
Former Delhi Congress chief Arvinder Singh Lovely, who had joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) nine months ago, rejoined the Congress on Saturday. The development can be seen as a big boost for the Congress ahead of the by-polls for the 20 assembly seats.
“At that time (when I joined BJP), I had also said that it was not a happy decision for me. It was a weak moment for me. But then after, I had a chat with Ajay Maken and we sorted out the differences,” said Lovely in a press conference at the AICC headquarters. “Ideologically, I was a misfit in the BJP,” he added.

Meanwhile, former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit expressed happiness over the development.”I am feeling very happy that he has returned back to the Congress,” said Dikshit.
A key minister in the erstwhile Sheila Dikshit government in Delhi, Lovely raked up allegations of bribery in ticket distribution for the MCD polls by the Congress. When he joined the BJP in April 2017 he expressed his unhappiness with its leadership, including vice-president Rahul Gandhi and said “The child is dead. Congress is finished”.
On Saturday, Lovely was warmly welcomed back into the party by AICC in charge of Delhi unit PC Chacko along with Ajay Maken.
Lovely met the party chief Rahul Gandhi at his residence.
