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

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.
