Sampan Negi joins BJP, giving Rudraprayag Congress its second setback in a week before 2027 polls
Congress in Uttarakhand’s Rudraprayag district has suffered its second leadership setback in a week after Chopta-area leader Sampan Negi joined the BJP. The move follows Gyaloo Lal’s earlier departure and comes before the 2027 Assembly election, adding to political uncertainty amid ongoing changes in district panchayat politics.
