Ashu & 2 Others Resign as Congress Loses Ludhiana West Bypoll
The Indian National Congress (Congress) has suffered a major setback in the Punjab politics as its candidate, Bharat Bhushan Ashu, lost the Ludhiana West bypoll. The party’s candidate, Ashu, who was also the Working President of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC), took responsibility for the loss and resigned from his post. Two other senior leaders, MLA Pargat Singh and former MLA Kushaldeep Singh (Kikki Dhillon), who are also the vice presidents of PPCC, stood by Ashu during the campaign and resigned in solidarity.
The Ludhiana West bypoll was seen as a test of strength for the Congress party, which has been facing criticism for its poor performance in the state. The party had won the Ludhiana West seat in the 2017 assembly elections, but the bypoll was necessitated due to the death of the MLA, Balwinder Singh Sanghera.
Ashu, who was the Congress candidate, faced a tough contest from the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) candidate, Harpreet Singh, who is the son of former SAD MLA, Tota Singh. The Congress had high hopes from Ashu, who is a young and energetic leader, but he ultimately lost the election.
After the loss, Ashu took responsibility for the defeat and resigned as the Working President of PPCC. In a statement, he said that he was resigning from his post to accept the responsibility of the loss. He also thanked his colleagues and workers for their support during the campaign.
Pargat Singh and Kushaldeep Singh, who are also the vice presidents of PPCC, stood by Ashu during the campaign and resigned in solidarity. Singh said that the party was not able to win the election due to internal differences and lack of unity among the party workers.
The resignation of Ashu and the two vice presidents is a major blow to the Congress party, which is already facing criticism for its poor performance in the state. The party had won only one seat in the recent Lok Sabha elections, and the Ludhiana West bypoll loss has further dented its morale.
The Congress party has been facing criticism for its poor performance in the state, and the resignation of Ashu and the two vice presidents is a sign of the party’s internal differences and lack of unity. The party needs to introspect and find a way to overcome its internal differences and work together to achieve its goals.
In conclusion, the loss of the Ludhiana West bypoll is a major setback for the Congress party, and the resignation of Ashu and the two vice presidents is a sign of the party’s internal differences and lack of unity. The party needs to find a way to overcome its internal differences and work together to achieve its goals.
