HS Phoolka joins BJP ahead of Punjab 2027 Assembly elections
HS Phoolka joins BJP: In a major development for the Punjab unit of the BJP, senior advocate and former AAP MLA HS Phoolka join the party in New Delhi on Wednesday afternoon. His return marks the end of nearly seven years away from active politics.
Phoolka officially joined the BJP at its headquarters in the presence of key leaders, including Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar, working president Ashwani Sharma and Union minister of state Ravneet Singh Bittu.
A well-known lawyer in the Supreme Court and Delhi High Court, Phoolka has earned respect for his long legal battle seeking justice for victims of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. He began his political journey in 2014 with the AAP, contesting the Lok Sabha Elections from Ludhiana. Later, he won the Dakha seat in the 2017 Punjab Assembly elections and also served briefly as the Leader of Opposition.
However, Phoolka stepped away from active politics in 2017 to focus on his legal work. He resigned as an MLA in 2018 and officially left the AAP in early 2019, choosing to dedicate his time fully to legal causes.
