On December 28, Laddi along with Qadian MLA Fatehjang Singh Bajwa, had joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in New Delhi in the presence of Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, who is the Punjab in-charge of the party.
The two MLA’s had joined the saffron party since they were unlikely to be given the Congress ticket in the upcoming polls next year, according to sources.
However, Ladi returned after getting assurance of the ticket from the constituency that is reserved for Scheduled Castes, sources said.
