The Disciplinary Action Panel of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) on Sunday suspended Abohar MLA Sandeep for “anti-party activities”.
The 46-year-old first-time MLA is the nephew of Punjab BJP president and former state Congress chief Sunil Jakhar.
Exuding confidence in the BJP's new Punjab chief, Sunil Jakhar, Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal on Sunday said under the former's leadership, the party will grow stronger in the border state.
Hours after being appointed as the president of the Bharatiya Janata Party Punjab unit, Sunil Jakhar on Tuesday said that his party will play the role of opposition in the border state.
