BJP to appoint home-grown Hindu face to lead party’s Punjab unit

Hindustan Times  

The Bharatiya Janata Party is expected to appoint a Hindu leader with strong roots in Punjab as its new state chief, with the announcement likely to come in the first week of March. The decision comes amidst growing concerns among the grassroots workers, who have felt side-lined by the party’s recent preference for leaders who switched from other political outfits. During Jakhar’s tenure many home-grown BJP leaders expressed discontent even though, under his leadership, the party secured more than 18% vote share in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Acknowledging the contributions of seasoned, home-grown leaders who have stood by the party through thick and thin is essential for revitalising the organizational setup,” a former BJP MLA said adding, “The move to prioritise grassroots leaders could re-energize the party’s rank and file.” Another significant factor driving this decision is the BJP’s underwhelming response to the membership drive in Punjab. Despite ambitious targets of enrolling 30 lakh members, the party has managed to register only 8 lakh members so far, making Punjab the only state where BJP’s organisational polls have been delayed.
