Chandigarh, Aug 9 (IANS) Punjab Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Kewal Singh Dhillon said on Sunday that a key meeting with the party’s President Nitin Nabin and state party In-charge Satish Poonia was held in New Delhi to strengthen the party organisation in Punjab and chart out strategy for the 2027 Assembly elections.
He told the media here that the meeting held substantive discussions on the future roadmap, keeping in mind state’s key issues of agriculture, youth, border security, and urban development.
In the coming days, strong teams will be formed at the level of every district, every mandal, and every village, which will yield positive results in the forthcoming state elections.
The Punjab BJP President said the party has widened its outreach over serious issues confronting Punjab such as drugs, unemployment, law and order and the farm crisis.
The party is organising contact programmes at the village and city level so that benefits of the Central government’s ‘pro-people’ schemes can reach every family in Punjab directly.
Launching a sharp attack on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab, Dhillon said that Punjab today “is grappling with crises such as the scourge of drugs, deteriorating law and order, and the migration of the youth abroad, but the ruling party (AAP) has no concrete solution to these problems”.
He added that the BJP “is committed to making Punjab a safe, prosperous, and progressive state once again, and that the organisation is being strengthened down to every village and every booth in pursuit of this goal”.
Dhillon said that ahead of Independence Day a “Har Ghar Tiranga” campaign is being run across Punjab from August 9 to 14.
He added that Punjab, which is both a border state and a land of martyrs, will see Tiranga Yatras taken out in every district, city, and village, encouraging people to hoist the National Flag at their homes.
He said that under the nationwide ‘Samarasta Sankalp Abhiyan’ being run in connection with the 650th birth anniversary of Guru Ravidas, a “Kalash Yatra” carrying sacred soil brought from the Guru’s birthplace is reaching villages across Punjab, particularly in the Doaba region, which has a large Dalit population.
Dhillon said this yatra is spreading the message of Guru’s teachings and social harmony to the people.
