BJP Appoints Key Leaders Including Sandeep Pathak Ahead of Punjab Elections
Ahead of Punjab's 2027 Assembly elections, the BJP has appointed key leaders including Sandeep Pathak, a former AAP strategist credited with AAP's 2022 Punjab victory, as national secretary. Alongside Pathak, Manpreet Singh Badal and Satish Poonia have been given significant roles to strengthen BJP's presence and electoral strategy in Punjab. These appointments aim to expand BJP's grassroots reach and appeal to diverse voter groups, including Jat Sikhs, as the party seeks to challenge AAP's dominance in the state.
