The Punjab unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has expanded its organisational structure ahead of the next Punjab Assembly election, appointing Tajinder Singh Bittu as a state vice-president.
According to the party's organisational announcement, Bittu's appointment is part of a broader restructuring aimed at strengthening the BJP's leadership team across the state. The party has been assigning experienced leaders to key organisational roles as it prepares for the upcoming election.
Bittu, a former Congress leader, has previously been active in Punjab politics before taking on responsibilities in Delhi. His latest appointment marks a return to the Punjab BJP's state leadership.
Political observers view the appointment as an effort to strengthen the BJP's organisational presence in the Doaba region, including Jalandhar. However, the party has not officially stated the specific reasons behind the appointment.
