Harsimrat Kaur Badal has sharply criticised the Union Budget, accusing the Centre of repeatedly neglecting Punjab’s needs. At a time when speculation about a possible SAD–BJP understanding ahead of 2027 refuses to fade, even though Sukhbir Singh Badal has not openly expressed any willingness for an alliance, the political messaging appears carefully balanced. Is the Akali leadership using strong criticism to signal independence, or keeping its options open while avoiding a clear stand on future ties with the BJP ?
हरसिमरत कौर बादल ने केंद्रीय बजट की कड़ी आलोचना करते हुए आरोप लगाया है कि केंद्र लगातार पंजाब की अनदेखी कर रहा है। ऐसे समय में जब 2027 से पहले अकाली दल - भाजपा समझौते की अटकलें जारी हैं, और सुखबीर सिंह बादल ने भी किसी गठबंधन की खुली इच्छा नहीं जताई है, पार्टी का राजनीतिक संदेश संतुलित नजर आ रहा है। क्या अकाली नेतृत्व तीखी आलोचना के जरिए अपनी स्वतंत्र पहचान दिखा रहा है, या भविष्य में भाजपा के साथ संभावनाएँ खुली रखते हुए अभी स्पष्ट रुख से बच रहा है ?
With the BJP still limited largely to urban pockets despite a record 18.56% vote share in 2024 and zero seats, the party’s Punjab strategy now seems to be moving in multiple directions at once. Outreach to deras, signals around Bikram Singh Majithia of the Shiromani Akali Dal, internal caution from leaders like Ravneet Singh Bittu, and hopes of anti-incumbency against AAP reflect a search for a workable rural entry point. Yet, weak grassroots presence, lingering farm protest distrust, and limited success in rural local body elections raise a core strategic question. What path will the BJP ultimately choose to expand in Punjab’s rural landscape ?
