Ludhiana (National Times): In a significant political development ahead of the Ludhiana West by-elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has officially announced Jeevan Gupta as its candidate for the upcoming contest.
The announcement was made earlier today, marking the party’s first major move in the run-up to the by-elections, which are expected to witness a fierce battle among key political players in Punjab.
Jeevan Gupta, a seasoned BJP leader with deep roots in Ludhiana’s civic and organizational politics, is widely known for his grassroots connections and organizational capabilities. His selection reflects the BJP’s strategy to field a strong local face to consolidate support in an urban constituency traditionally seen as a competitive battleground.
The Ludhiana West seat fell vacant following the sad demise of AAP MLA Gurpreet Bassi Gogi. With this announcement, the BJP has sounded the poll bugle and is expected to launch an aggressive campaign in the coming days.
