Train Ride with ‘No-fuss’ Leader
MANY PASSENGERS on a train from Delhi to Lucknow on Monday night were surprised to see BJP leader and former UP Cabinet minister Chaudhary Bhupendra Singh travelling with them. Some passengers complimented the BJP leader for his simple lifestyle as Singh was travelling with just one staff member in the train. A bunch of passengers were later heard talking about how Singh created no fuss despite the train being two hours late in reaching Lucknow on Tuesday morning.
All Set for New Role?
OUTGOING DELHI BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva, under whose leadership the party formed the government in the Capital after 27 years, is likely to be elevated to the BJP’s national ranks and play what insiders term “a significant role” in the party’s next electoral target — Punjab. Sachdeva, a former journalist with roots in pre-Partition Punjab, could likely serve as “a crucial organisational link” between the BJP’s national leadership and the state in the 2027 Assembly polls. On Thursday, after he handed over the charge of Delhi BJP to Harsh Malhotra, Sachdeva distributed packets of Melody toffee, which witnessed a surge in popularity recently after Prime Minister Narendra Modi gifted a packet to his Italian counterpart Georgia Meloni, to each of his colleagues and office staff at the BJP headquarters in the Capital.
