After the resignation, BJP was trying its best to convince Sampan, but he made it clear that since he wasn’t consulted before decisions on ticket distribution took place, then there is no point of him staying in the party. Also, he had already expressed his resentment to Party’s national chief Amit Shah, the charge Sampna has clearly denied. BJP last year replaced its State heads, including Sampla. Sampla  is a MP and Minister from Hoshiarpur. Sampla replaced Kamal Sharma as a State Party Chief.
