Ashu & 2 Others Resign as Congress Loses Ludhiana West Bypoll
The recent bypoll result in Ludhiana West has sent shockwaves throughout the Punjab Congress party, with the party’s candidate, Bharat Bhushan Ashu, taking responsibility for the loss and resigning from his post as the Working President of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC). In a sign of solidarity and accountability, two other senior party leaders, MLA Pargat Singh and former MLA Kushaldeep Singh (Kikki Dhillon), who are also PPCC’s vice presidents, have also resigned from their posts.
The Ludhiana West bypoll was seen as a crucial test for the Congress party, which had been struggling to regain its footing in the state after a series of electoral defeats. The party had high hopes of winning the bypoll, given its strong presence in the constituency and the fact that it had been in power in the state for several years.
However, the party’s hopes were dashed when the bypoll result was announced, with the Akali Dal-BSP candidate emerging victorious. The Congress party’s candidate, Bharat Bhushan Ashu, won only 54,000 votes, a significant decline from the party’s performance in the previous elections.
In the aftermath of the bypoll result, Ashu took responsibility for the party’s loss and resigned from his post as the Working President of the PPCC. Ashu, who is also the Congress MLA from the Ludhiana West constituency, said that he was willing to take the blame for the party’s loss and that he did not want to continue as the Working President of the PPCC.
“I am responsible for the party’s loss and I do not want to continue as the Working President of the PPCC,” Ashu said in a statement. “I am willing to take the blame for the party’s loss and I will work to improve the party’s performance in the future.”
Ashu’s resignation was followed by the resignation of two other senior party leaders, MLA Pargat Singh and former MLA Kushaldeep Singh (Kikki Dhillon), who are also PPCC’s vice presidents. Singh and Dhillon, who had been closely associated with Ashu during the campaign, said that they were resigning in solidarity with Ashu and to take responsibility for the party’s loss.
“We are resigning in solidarity with Ashu and to take responsibility for the party’s loss,” Singh and Dhillon said in a joint statement. “We are committed to the party and we will continue to work for its growth and development.”
The resignations of Ashu, Singh, and Dhillon have sent shockwaves throughout the Punjab Congress party, with many party leaders and workers expressing surprise and disappointment at the sudden turn of events. However, the resignations have also been seen as a sign of accountability and a willingness to take responsibility for the party’s loss.
