Ex-Congress leader Jitin Prasada - the BJP's newest recruit - told NDTV Thursday his decision to switch sides had nothing to do with Rahul Gandhi or the leadership crisis plaguing his former party. Mr Prasada told NDTV he made no deal with Home Minister Amit Shah or party chief JP Nadda prior to his joining the BJP. He said he quit the Congress - his party of two decades - because "it was getting difficult (to work)", and joined the BJP because he could "serve the people".
