New Delhi: Former Army Chief Gen. V.K. Singh, who was engaged in a long-drawn battle with the government over his age issue, will join the BJP on Saturday. However, he had refused to confirm his plans to join the BJP stating that he was busy assisting social activist Anna Hazare in his movement.
It is, however, not yet clear whether BJP would field him in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Gen. Singh’s tenure as the Army Chief was marked by a controversy over his age. He became the first serving chief to drag the Centre to the court over his age issue which was decided in favour of the government by the Supreme Court. The dispute arose as he had two sets of date of birth, May 10,1950 and May 10,1951 in his official records.
