PHAGWARA: Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal, National Secretary, BJP Kisan Morcha came down heavily on Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar over his absence from by-polls campaigning and reports of his resignation from the post of state president.
Talking to journalists here today Grewal while addressing Jakhar said Whenever there is a war, the army generals do not show their back and run.
Grewal told Jakhar:--Bharatiya Janata Party gave him a respectable post in Punjab but instead of fulfilling that responsibility perhaps he tried to help others secretly.
He said the thing he was saying that he has resigned 6 days before the by-elections to be held on 4 seats in Punjab, he could have said that he had resigned 4 days after today or even 2 months ago.
Grewal asked Kakhar whether he was trying to benefit another party by taking such steps?
Grewal said Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and Jagat Parkash Nadda had trusted him but he has come out of the field and somehow stabbed BJP in the back which is the mother of every worker of this party.
Grewal asked Jakhar? If you had made everything clear earlier, the party would have appointed a qualified leader for the post of State President by now and the party would have been moving towards its goal. But you have not only cheated the senior leaders of the party but also every worker of the party.
Grewal advised Jakhar and said when there is a war, the generals of the army do not run by showing their backs. Bharatiya Janata Party in Punjab gave you honourable post but you tried to help other people in secret way instead of fulfilling this responsibility.
He asked Jakhar? The thing you are telling 6 days before the by-elections on 4 seats in Punjab that you have resigned, you could have said that 4 days later or 2 months before today. Are you not trying to benefit another party by taking such steps?
He said If Jakhar had cleared everything before then the party would have made a capable leader as state president and the party would have been moving towards its goal. But he has cheated not only senior party leaders but every party worker.
