Kewal Singh Dhillon Appointed Punjab BJP President Ahead of 2027 Elections
The BJP has appointed former Congress MLA Kewal Singh Dhillon as the new Punjab BJP president ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, succeeding Sunil Jakhar. Dhillon, a 75-year-old Jat Sikh and close associate of ex-CM Amarinder Singh, joined BJP in 2022 and previously served as Barnala MLA. His appointment aims to expand BJP's rural and Sikh voter base in Punjab, marking a strategic shift from its traditional urban Hindu support. The party also announced new state chiefs in Delhi, Haryana, and Tripura.
