Ludhiana, September 20, 2024 (Yes Punjab News)
Senior BJP leader Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal has openly alleged that the BJP in Punjab is being commanded by those leaders of the Congress who joined the BJP only to save themselves while the Taksali cadre of the BJP was being badly ignored in Punjab.
Talking to newsmen here today, while raising his voice in support of the taksali BJP workers who were being ignored and side-lined.
Grewal alleged that Congressification of the BJP is being witnessed as the command of the BJP has gone into the hands of those who entered the party recently.
He asked BJP leadership to remember veteran BJP leaders like Madan Mohan Mittal, Prof Lakshmi Kanta Chawla, Master Mohan Lal, Avinash Rai Khanna, Tikshan Sud, Manoranjan Kalia, Som Parkash, Surjit Kumar Jyani, and many more who worked hard and faced terrorism era in Punjab, but now stand cornered and isolated in the party.
Grewal said Mittal was asked to take control of BJP Punjab when nobody dared to come outside their house during terrorism, but Mittal worked hard as Punjab BJP President in difficult times.
He said BJP’s high command should prefer the real cadre of BJP which was being ignored badly.
When asked about controversy that arose after the statement of Bollywood Actress and BJP MP Kangna Ranaut, Grewal quipped and said BJP should not have ignored the cadre of the party and allotted tickets to those who did not know about the discipline of the party.
Replying to a question about any possible disciplinary action against him, Grewal said it’s up to the high command to listen to the truth or act. He clarified that he was not going to leave the party himself.
Commenting upon farmers’ protest, Grewal said that the center should realize the problems of the farmers as their kids are serving in the army on the borders.
Grewal said BJP High Command will have to realize the truth and should rescue the party from the clutches of those Congress leaders who joined the party only to save their corrupt deals.
