Infighting in Ropar BJP Over District Body Appointments Raises Concerns
Infighting has emerged within the Ropar BJP unit in Punjab over recent district body appointments. Senior leader and state vice-president Subhash Sharma, currently in the US, alleges these appointments were made without consulting him or the district in-charge, prompting him to file a complaint with the state BJP chief. The appointments, particularly in the Anandpur Sahib segment, replaced Sharma's team, causing discontent among his supporters. BJP district president Ajayvir Singh Lalpura stated the appointments followed party protocols and invited Sharma to discuss any concerns directly.
