Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar’s Resignation Stirs Political Buzz, Congress Takes a Jab

Punjab: The political atmosphere in Punjab has heated up following the resignation of Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar. Congress President Raja Warring didn’t miss the opportunity to take a jab at Jakhar’s resignation. On his X (formerly Twitter) account, Warring posted, “Mr @sunilkjakhar, All the best, where next?”

Here are the key points of the development:

Political Fallout Ahead of Elections
Sunil Jakhar’s resignation comes at a critical time, as Haryana Assembly elections are ongoing and Punjab is preparing for its upcoming Panchayat elections. His resignation is considered a significant setback for the BJP in the region.

Discontent Over Ministerial Appointment:
Sources suggest that Jakhar was unhappy with the appointment of Ravneet Singh Bittu as a Union Minister of State, which led to his growing distance from the party since July. His absence from a crucial meeting held by the BJP on Thursday only fueled speculation about his decision to step down.

One Year of Leadership
Jakhar had been appointed as the Punjab BJP President just a year ago. His departure has raised questions about internal strife within the party and its potential impact on the BJP’s prospects in the upcoming elections in both Haryana and Punjab.
