He further said, “I’m glad to have joined the BJP… I feel that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s work for the nation makes him the right PM. So, I thought, why not be a part of his governance for the nation’s development. I joined the party after being influenced by the BJP’s national policy.”
Before this, Mr Rana had served as an Assistant Sub-Inspector for the Punjab Police. Along with Dalip Singh Rana, two other members, Balwan Singh and Satyendra Singh joined the party on the same day.

Notably, during the harsh days of farmers’ protest, Khali had lent his support to the year-long farmers’ agitation against the three farm reform laws that were introduced by the central government. The laws have now been repealed.
