In a post on Facebook, Singh — the MLA from Amritsar North seat — said he has sent his resignation to Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan.

Singh, along with Punjab MLAs Chetan Singh Jouramajra and Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra, joined the BJP in the presence of senior leaders at its headquarters here.

His resignation from the Punjab Assembly came on the heels of two other AAP legislators — Chetan Singh Jouramajra from Samana and Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra from Sanour in Patiala district — resigning from the party on Sunday.
