BJP removes Janardhan Sharma as Convener Media Cell Punjab
Ludhiana, March 24, 2017: (By Raju William) Punjab BJP president Vijay Sampla on Friday removed Janardhan Sharma from the post of Convener, Media Cell BJP Punjab.
Sharma told babushahi.com that he had learnt about the Sampla’s decision from the media and was yet to receive the official intimation in this regard. He appeared unfazed by the decision terming it as the price paid by him for speaking out the truth.
Action against Sharma has, understandably, been taken in the wake of the demand raised by him on Thursday for introspection into the causes of the dismal performance of the party in recent Punjab Assembly elections. He had accused the state leadership of the party of neglecting its workers.
Without naming any leader, he had also demanded restructuring of the state unit of the BJP which showed lack of direction. He had asked the state leadership to reflect on why the party fared so miserably in Punjab as compared to its stupendous showing in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
