Former Barnala MLA Kewal Singh Dhillon, a close confidante of former Punjab CM Capt Amarinder Singh, was on Thursday named the new president of Punjab BJP. He served as MLA from Barnala from 2007 to 2017 before being defeated by AAP's Meet Hayer. Dhillon's long association with Capt Amarinder gives him access to the former CM's support base in Malwa.
