However, he refused to comment on whether he would be joining other political parties.
Kamboj has been the urban district president of JJP’s Ambala unit and had unsuccessfully contested the 2019 assembly elections against sitting Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Ambala City, Aseem Goel.
The JJP, former ally of the ruling BJP, has over the last few days seen a series of resignations, including that of the state unit president Nishan Singh and another general secretary Kamlesh Saini.
