Another Congress turncoat gets a top post. BJP is becoming a 'recycling bin' for old politicians. Where is the new generation leadership? 🤔
Preneet Kaur ji has always been a dignified leader. Her statement shows maturity and party discipline. Punjab needs stability and development, hope Dhillon ji delivers on his promises for farmers.
Interesting to see how the political landscape in Punjab keeps shifting. Seems like every party is trying to rebrand itself. Hope the new president focuses on real issues like stubble burning and drug problem.
BJP appointing new presidents for Punjab, Haryana, Delhi - seems like a big reshuffle. But honestly, the real test will be in 2027. Dhillon ji has a tough task ahead, AAP and Congress won't go easy. Best of luck! 🎯
Preneet Kaur ji saying "I have come as a party worker" - that's the spirit of democracy! But the fact that she had to make such a statement raises questions about internal dynamics. Hope this works out for Punjab.
Watching from abroad, it's fascinating how Indian politics keeps evolving. A former Congress MLA now leads BJP in Punjab
