Kewal Singh Dhillon is a former Congress leader who served as a member of the Punjab Legislative Assembly (2012-17) for the constituency of Barnala. Dhillon joined the BJP on June 4, 2022.

Along with Dhillon, the BJP also appointed new party state unit presidents for Delhi, Tripura and Haryana.

Archana Gupta has been named the President of the BJP's Haryana unit, while Union Minister of State (MoS) Harsh Malhotra has become the President of the BJP's Delhi state unit.

Newly appointed Haryana BJP State President, Archana Gupta, thanked the top BJP leadership for their trust and asserted that her priority will be to strengthen the organisation further, bring communal harmony and ensure greater participation of women in politics and the economy.

"Women's empowerment will remain a key focus. When the Prime Minister introduced the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, other political parties opposed it. Women saw clearly which party supported them and which opposed them. In Bengal, people already gave a strong reply to TMC. Women will stand firmly with the BJP, the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister of Haryana," she told ANI.
