Punjab Polls 2022 Gajendra Shekhawat appointed as BJP in-charge for Punjab polls
Chandigarh/IBNS: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has appointed Union Minister Gajendra Shekhawat as the party's in-charge for the upcoming Punjab assembly elections, media reports said.
Union Ministers Hardeep Singh Puri, Meenakshi Lekhi and MP Vinod Chavda have been appointed as the co-incharges for the polls, which are due to be held early next year.
After getting its ties with Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) severed, the BJP will have to take on the ruling Congress and rising Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) all alone in the electoral contest.
The saffron party is also facing the heat of the farmers' protest, the reason behind SAD's exit from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
Punjab will go to polls along with Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur.
