In a calculated move ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, the BJP has appointed former Congress leader Kewal Singh Dhillon as its new Punjab state president.
This strategic decision underscores the party’s intensified efforts to expand its footprint in the region by directly appealing to the crucial Jat Sikh demographic. Dhillon brings significant political experience and local influence to the role. By placing a prominent Jat Sikh leader at the helm, the BJP aims to strengthen its grassroots connections and present a formidable challenge to regional rivals in the upcoming electoral battles.
