Ashu & 2 others resign as Congress loses Ludhiana West bypoll
In a shocking turn of events, the Punjab Congress has suffered a major setback with the loss in the Ludhiana West bypoll. The party’s candidate, Bharat Bhushan Ashu, took responsibility for the loss and resigned from the Working President post of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC). Notably, Ashu was accompanied by two other senior leaders, MLA Pargat Singh and former MLA Kushaldeep Singh (Kikki Dhillon), who are also PPCC’s vice presidents, in his decision to quit.
Ashu’s resignation came as a surprise to many, as he had been a prominent face in the party and had played a crucial role in the campaign. However, after the defeat, he took responsibility for the loss and decided to step down from his post. This decision was seen as a sign of accountability and a demonstration of his commitment to the party.
In a statement, Ashu said that he was willing to take the responsibility for the loss and that he did not want to be a burden on the party. He also praised the party workers and the people of Ludhiana West for their support and said that he would continue to work for the party from within.
MLA Pargat Singh and former MLA Kushaldeep Singh (Kikki Dhillon) also resigned in solidarity with Ashu. This move was seen as a sign of unity and a demonstration of their commitment to the party.
The loss in the Ludhiana West bypoll is a significant blow to the Congress party, which had been struggling to regain its footing in the state. The party had been eyeing this seat as a key victory, but ultimately, it fell short.
The reasons for the loss are still unclear, but many believe that it was due to internal bickering and a lack of coordination within the party. The opposition parties, including the Akali Dal and the BJP, had been campaigning aggressively, and it appears that their efforts paid off.
The loss has raised questions about the party’s leadership and its ability to connect with the people. The Congress party has been in power in Punjab for several years, but it has been struggling to maintain its popularity. The loss in the Ludhiana West bypoll is seen as a sign of the party’s declining fortunes.
The resignation of Ashu and the other leaders is a significant blow to the party, as they were some of its most prominent faces. The party will need to regroup and re-strategize if it wants to recover from this loss.
The news of the resignations has sent shockwaves through the party, with many leaders expressing their disappointment and anger. The party’s president, Navjot Singh Sidhu, has called an emergency meeting to discuss the situation and plan the party’s future course of action.
In the meantime, the party will need to focus on rebuilding its image and reconnecting with the people. The loss in the Ludhiana West bypoll is a wake-up call for the party, and it will need to take immediate action to regain the trust of the people.
