Overview

  • On Sunday Punjab BJP president Kewal Singh Dhillon announced six new district presidents and a full slate of state office-bearers, including 12 vice-presidents, five general secretaries and 12 state secretaries.
  • The list also installs heads for key morchas — Yuva (youth), Mahila (women), Kisan (farmers), SC and OBC — as part of a targeted outreach plan to broaden the party’s appeal.
  • The appointments were made with the approval of BJP national president Nitin Nabin, signaling coordinated state and national oversight of the reorganisation.
  • Notable names include Jai Inder Kaur as Mahila Morcha president, Anuj Khosla as Yuva Morcha chief, S S Channi as chief spokesperson and Vineet Joshi as state media head.
  • Coverage so far is agency-driven and records no public or political reaction; the party says the changes aim to boost local campaigning, help identify candidates and tighten messaging ahead of elections, so monitor whether these office-bearers translate into more visible ground activity.
