EX-JD(U) minister joins AAP

In what could boost the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)'s electoral prospects in Bihar, former state social welfare minister, Parveen Amanullah, joined the party on Thursday. "I wanted to be a part of this movement. I contacted the party and they accepted my offer," Amanullah said. Amanullah had resigned from Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's cabinet and also quit the Janata Dal (United) on Tuesday.
