ARVIND SHARMA

A turncoat who joined the BJP a few weeks ago after being promised a Lok Sabha nomination, Arvind Sharma was left disappointed when the BJP did not field him from Karnal, a seat he had won twice on Congress ticket. He is learnt to have been in touch with the Congress also after he was denied a ticket from Karnal. However, the BJP has somehow tried to placate him by fielding him from Rohtak, the bastion of former chief minister, Bhupinder Singh Hooda. Hooda’s son Deepender is a three-time MP from Rohtak.
