The resignations of two Punjab legislators, Kunwar Vijay Pratap and Pathan Majra, were formally accepted on Monday after they quit the party over denied election tickets, leaving their assembly seats vacant.
Punjab's political landscape witnessed a notable shift on Monday when the resignations of two sitting legislators were officially approved. Kunwar Vijay Pratap and Pathan Majra, both members of the state assembly, had earlier tendered their resignations after the party denied them tickets for the upcoming elections.
The party accepted their resignations, thereby vacating the constituencies they represented. This development adds two open seats to the Punjab Legislative Assembly, prompting speculation about potential by‑elections and the re‑allocation of party resources.
Party officials declined to comment on the internal decision‑making process, while political analysts noted that the move could reshape candidate selection dynamics ahead of the next electoral cycle.
