The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has called a key meeting of its Punjab leadership in New Delhi on Friday evening, triggering speculation about the party's future plans and political strategy in the state.
Party sources said BJP National Organisation Secretary B.L. Santosh would chair the meeting. Senior leaders expected to attend include Punjab BJP president Kewal Singh Dhillon, former state BJP chief and former MP Sunil Jakhar, Union Minister of State for Railways Ravneet Singh Bittu, senior BJP leader and former Union Minister Vijay Sampla, and former Punjab minister Manoranjan Kalia.
Sources said the meeting is likely to focus on strengthening the party organisation in Punjab, appointing new office-bearers and discussing important political issues related to the state. Preparations for the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections are also expected to be on the agenda.
The meeting is considered significant as it will be the first major interaction between newly appointed Punjab BJP president Kewal Singh Dhillon and the party's top organisational leadership at the national level.
