Parkash Badal’s cousin and longtime political adviser, Bhupinder Dhillon joins BJP

Major Bhupinder Singh Dhillon, the cousin of former Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal, has joined the BJP alongside his son Amarveer Singh Badal. Bhupinder Singh, who served as Badal's political secretary for 25 years, made the announcement at Haryana Chief Minister Saini's residence, 'Sant Kabir Kutir' in Chandigarh. Both Bhupinder and his son officially joined the BJP and were welcomed with full respect and honor by Saini.

Saini, who also served as Punjab BJP president, expressed optimism that the BJP would emerge victorious in upcoming Assembly elections, attributing this success to the policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He criticized the Congress and AAP for failing to meet their electoral promises, stating that the people have grown tired of corruption and are now turning to the BJP with hope.

Saini also hinted at a strong crackdown on drugs and a focus on sports development in Punjab. Notably, Bhupinder Singh's father, Gurraj Singh Dhillon, was a Rajya Sabha member for the SAD during the early political career of Parkash Singh Badal, making the Dhillon family a significant part of the political landscape in Punjab.
