Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) appointed former Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh and erstwhile state Congress president Sunil Jakhar and its former Uttar Pradesh president Swatantra Dev Singh as members of its national executive.
The party also appointed Jaiveer Shergill, former Congress spokesperson as its national spokesperson, the party said in a statement.
The former party head of Uttarakhand and Chhatisgarh, Madan Kaushik and Vishnu Deo Sai respectively, and three other members from Punjab, namely Rana Gurmit Singh Sodhi, Manoranjan Kalia, and Amanjot Kaur Ramoowalia were given the special invitees to the national executive, the notification said.
Capt Amarinder Singh had floated the Punjab Lok Congress (PLC) last year after quitting Congress following his exit as chief minister over his differences with the top party leaders. He has discussed issues related to national security, rising cases of narco-terrorism in Punjab, and the roadmap for the state’s development with PM Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and party president JP Nadda.
Sunil Jakhar joined the BJP in May after serving almost fifty years in the Congress. He has disputes over issues such as nationalism, and unity in Punjab with Congress.
