BJP Appoints Virendra Sachdeva as Punjab Co-Incharge Ahead of Assembly Polls
The BJP has appointed former Delhi unit chief Virendra Sachdeva as co-incharge for Punjab ahead of the assembly polls, alongside Dr Alka Gurjar. Sachdeva, credited with leading the BJP's grassroots campaign in Delhi and contributing to its victory over AAP, is expected to assist Satish Poonia in strengthening the party's presence in Punjab. His Punjabi background and organizational skills are seen as assets for expanding BJP's reach beyond urban areas. Sachdeva notably challenged AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal on issues like Yamuna river pollution.
