Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, August 28, 2026: The Disciplinary Committee of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Punjab, has issued show-cause notices to three party leaders over statements allegedly made during a press conference in Sangrur on August 25.
The notices have been served on Randeep Singh Deol, former District President, BJP Sangrur; Maninder Singh Kapial, former District President, BJP Sangrur; and Jatinder Kalra, former State Cells Coordinator, BJP Punjab.
According to the notices, the three leaders conducted or participated in a press conference where they allegedly made remarks concerning the BJP's internal affairs and organisational matters that were contrary to the party's established line and discipline.
The Disciplinary Committee said the alleged conduct had, prima facie, adversely affected the party's reputation, credibility and organisational image.
The three leaders have been directed to submit their written explanations within seven days of receiving the notices, stating why disciplinary action should not be initiated against them for the alleged violation of party discipline and damage to the party's reputation.
The notices also seek clarification on the leaders' respective roles in the press conference, the statements made by them and the purpose behind organising the event.
The committee has warned that failure to respond within the stipulated period could lead to appropriate disciplinary action under the Constitution and Rules of the BJP, without any further notice.
The show-cause notices were issued by Som Parkash, Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, BJP Punjab.
