Ashwani Sharma Returns! BJP Punjab Gets New Boss..

Punjab : In a sudden and strategic political move, the BJP high command has appointed senior leader Ashwani Sharma as the working president of the Punjab unit. The announcement has sent ripples across the political circles of the state, especially as Sharma had previously served as the Punjab BJP president. His return signals a fresh game plan by the party ahead of crucial electoral battles in the state.

The official notification was released by the central leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday, reinstating Ashwani Sharma to a key leadership role. This decision comes at a time when the party is seeking to strengthen its organizational roots in Punjab and expand its base beyond urban pockets. Sharma, known for his disciplined organizational skills and clean image, is expected to play a crucial role in revitalizing the cadre and reconnecting with the grassroots.

Ashwani Sharma’s prior tenure as state president was marked by efforts to bridge the gap between the BJP and local communities, especially in a state where the party is still seen as an outsider in certain regions. With his deep understanding of Punjab’s socio-political dynamics, party insiders believe he can bring stability and renewed energy to the state unit.

His re-appointment is also being viewed as a sign of trust from the central leadership, who are reportedly aiming to recalibrate their Punjab strategy with experienced hands leading the front. Sharma’s rapport with both old party loyalists and younger karyakartas is expected to help in building a more cohesive unit.

While BJP has faced challenges in the state post its break-up with Shiromani Akali Dal, the party seems to be gearing up for a more independent and aggressive stance. Political analysts believe Ashwani Sharma’s return could be the start of a larger reorganization within the party to prepare for 2027 Punjab Assembly elections. Public and political response to the news has been mixed, with supporters welcoming the decision and opposition parties calling it an act of desperation. However, one thing is clear BJP is in no mood to slow down in Punjab.
