New Delhi, August 29, 2023: As per media reports, Former president of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee and BJP Leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa Tuesday appointed Manjinder Singh Sirsa as the party’s national secretary by BJP.
“Jagat Prakash Nadda, National President, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) appointed Manjinder Singh Sirsa as national secretary of the party,” the party said in a statement.

Sirsa, a former member of the Delhi Legislative Assembly, had joined the saffron party quitting the Shiromani Akali Dal in December 2021, few months ahead of the Punjab polls in 2022.
