The formal induction took place in the presence of BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh, who welcomed both the leaders into the party.

Chugh also took a dig at the current Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab and alleged that its mismanagement and policy failures have pushed the state into a deep crisis. He further said that the Congress is grappling with internal conflicts, nepotism and lack of direction, which has disillusioned many honest and hardworking leaders who are now looking for a political platform that values their service to Punjab.

He said the BJP’s commitment to strengthening national unity and its development-oriented policies inspired him to join the party.
The development is being seen as part of the BJP’s ongoing efforts to expand its base in Punjab, especially by inducting influential regional and district level leaders from other parties.
This induction signals a gradual consolidation of political support under the BJP banner in Punjab, especially in border areas like Tarn Taran, where the party is focusing on increasing its presence. The involvement of both the respected personalities in local politics is expected to give new strength to the BJP in its mission to establish a strong foothold in the political landscape of the state.
