Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh's nephew, Manbir Singh, on Saturday said all family members were shocked by Daljit Singh Kohli's decision to join the Bharatiya Janata Party.
"All our family members are completely shocked with his decision. It may be his personal choice that he has changed his ideology. We are completely with Dr. Manmohan Singh and we support Captain Amarinder Singh here in Amritsar," said Manbir Singh.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's step-brother, Daljit Singh Kohli, joined the BJP. Kohli was present on stage at the joint BJP-Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) rally held in Amritsar on Friday night.
The rally was also attended by Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.
Addressing the gathering, Modi said that Kohli's decision to join the BJP would increase the party's strength, and added that it would be his endeavour to forge a close relationship with the latter.
