on Thursday said the party was aiming to form the next government in the state. He also spoke about working for farmers and creating more opportunities for the youth.
Dhillon said the BJP wanted to make Punjab one of the best states in the country. He said the party would focus on the welfare of farmers and employment generation for young people. He also expressed confidence that the BJP would come to power in Punjab in the 2027 Assembly elections.
BJP national president Nitin Nabin had appointed Kewal Singh Dhillon as the new chief of the party’s Punjab unit. He has replaced Sunil Jakhar in the role. Dhillon is a former Congress leader and had served as MLA from Barnala between 2012 and 2017. He joined the BJP on June 4, 2022.
Former Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh also congratulated Dhillon on his appointment. In a post on X, he wished him success in strengthening the BJP across Punjab.
Along with Punjab, the BJP also announced new state presidents for Delhi, Haryana and Tripura.
Archana Gupta has been appointed as the new Haryana BJP president, while Union Minister of State Harsh Malhotra has been named chief of the Delhi BJP unit. After her appointment, Archana Gupta thanked the BJP leadership for placing trust in her. She said her focus would be on strengthening the organisation, promoting communal harmony and increasing women’s participation in politics and the economy.
Gupta said “Women's empowerment will remain a key focus... When the Prime Minister introduced the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, other political parties opposed it. Women saw clearly which party supported them and which opposed them. In Bengal, people already gave a strong reply to TMC. Women will stand firmly with the BJP, the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister of Haryana.”
The BJP has also appointed Abhishek Debroy as president of the party’s Tripura unit. Debroy is currently an MLA from the Matabari constituency and won the seat in the 2023 Assembly elections as a BJP candidate.
Harsh Malhotra is a senior BJP leader from Delhi and currently serves as MP from East Delhi. He is also serving as Union Minister of State in the Ministries of Corporate Affairs and Road Transport and Highways.
