BJP leaders worry as party workers on back foot after defeat in Punjab assembly elections

BJP state executive committee meeting which concluded at Ludhiana recently discussed several burning issues.
The meeting held serious discussions over the defeat of the party in the recently held Punjab assembly elections.

These feelings were even felt by the party’s state political affairs in-charge Prabhat Jha.
While addressing the party men on the issue, Jha got emotional and asked the party workers to become since and honest for the party. He said every party worker should focus on further strengthening the party across the state. He admitted that the defeat in Punjab had put the BJP workers on back foot. He said it was the right time to give adequate time and attention for strengthening the organization at the grass root level in an honest manner. He asked the party men to go at the doorsteps of people for highlighting the achievements of the Modi government.
