As per the sources, the Centre has provided the security cover to Vikramjit Singh Chaudhary, Karamjjit Kaur Chaudhary and Tajinder Singh Bittu only in Punjab.
The security cover was provided to the three leaders following an order issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) based on Intelligence Bureau's recent threat analysis report.
Hours after joining BJP in the presence of Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and party general secretary Vinod Tawde, Tajinder Singh Bittu met BJP national president JP Nadda in Delhi on Saturday.
This comes at a crucial time, in the backdrop of Lok Sabha elections being held across the nation. Bittu's exit marks another setback for the Congress party, which has witnessed an exodus of big leaders in the last few weeks.
CM Baghel further said, "The counting is going on, we should wait till the end, but what we had expected that our government will be formed in Himachal is now visible. I have been made an observer in Himachal, so I will go to Himachal via Delhi today."
