Chandigarh: In a significant move, the central government has withdraws the security detail of ten former MLAs and prominent leaders in Punjab who transitioned to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This action follows reports highlighting their inactivity in grassroots party activities after joining the BJP, raising concerns about leaders potentially misusing their privileged security status.

Sources indicate that the party high command sought confidential assessments regarding these leaders’ engagement with the public and their contributions to strengthening party presence. The leaders include Kamaldeep Singh Saini, Jagdeep Jagga Rajpura, and Sukhwinder Singh Bindra, among others.

The high command’s decision underscores a push to ensure that party members actively engage with their constituencies rather than solely rely on central security for their political stature. This withdrawal signals a clear message: commitment to party duties is paramount.

With the political landscape in Punjab evolving, the BJP’s focus on accountability within its ranks could reshape its approach ahead of upcoming elections. As these leaders adapt to the new dynamics, it remains to be seen how this decision will impact their influence and the overall party strategy in the region.
