Has Jakhar quit as BJP Punjab chief? "Totally baseless,' says saffron party

HAS Sunil Jakhar resigned as the BJP's Punjab president? Hours after the media reports suggested the possible resignation of Jakhar, the BJP on Friday issued a statement, stating that Jakhar is leading the party in the state and dismissing as "totally baseless" the speculation that he had resigned from his post.
Taking to 'X', the BJP Punjab unit refuted the claims, urging the public not to believe or spread false news. "All news of Mr Sunil Jakhar's resignation is false and merely rumours.
Please do not spread false information," the statement read.
If sources are to be believed, Jakhar has been upset for some time over the state of affairs and has already apprised the top leadership about his unwillingness to work as the state party president.
The 70-year-old Jakhar was not responding to calls, but his close aide Sanjeev Trikha said that there is nothing like this.
