After taking the political plunge, Gurjar said that he decided to join the BJP because the party works for Hindutva, as per a report carried by India Today.
Gujjar had reached Shaheen Bagh area on February 1 and fired two rounds in the air, following which he was taken into custody by Delhi Police. Gujjar had attributed his act to annoyance with the traffic disruptions caused by the protests.
