Sharma Takes Reins of Punjab BJP: Jakhar’s Exit Signals National Ambitions

Ashwani Sharma, the Pathankot MLA, has been appointed as the working president of the Punjab BJP. This move strongly suggests he is the frontrunner to succeed Sunil Jakhar as the state party chief.

Jakhar’s recent resignation opens the door for a potential national role within the BJP, or even a Rajya Sabha nomination. Speculation about his future is rife within party circles.

The BJP is currently undertaking internal elections, and significant organizational changes are anticipated in the coming weeks. This reshuffle reflects the party’s strategy for the upcoming state elections.

Sharma’s appointment marks a significant shift in the Punjab BJP’s leadership. His ability to consolidate the party’s base and broaden its appeal will be crucial in the run-up to the next assembly elections, a challenge that will determine the party’s future trajectory in the state.
