BJP Criticizes Congress Following Manish Tewari's Comment on Punjab BJP Chief Appointment

The BJP has criticized Congress after party MP Manish Tewari mocked the appointment of Kewal Singh Dhillon, a former Congress leader, as Punjab BJP chief. The BJP stated that Congress lacks space for talented individuals. This appointment signals BJP's strategy for the upcoming Punjab assembly polls.

The BJP has targeted Congress after Manish Tewari, a Congress MP, questioned the BJP's choice to appoint Kewal Singh Dhillon as its Punjab unit head. Tewari commented on the BJP's inability to find leaders from within their ranks, suggesting that BJP resorts to appointing former Congress members.

Responding to Tewari’s remarks, BJP’s B L Santhosh countered by saying that Congress has no room for talented individuals. Dhillon, who aligned with the BJP in 2022 and holds significant influence, is seen as part of BJP's calculated move to prepare for the upcoming Punjab state elections. His appointment highlights the BJP's intention to challenge the ruling Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab.
