With the 2027 Punjab elections approaching, pressure is growing within the BJP to revive its alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). Some leaders favour a tie-up, while others want the BJP to contest all 117 seats alone. Seat-sharing and the BJP’s rural support remain key concerns. Can the BJP expand its reach alone or does it need the SAD’s support to compete in Punjab ? Will an alliance strengthen both parties or trigger fresh tensions over seats and leadership ?
2027 के पंजाब चुनावों से पहले भाजपा के भीतर शिरोमणि अकाली दल (SAD) के साथ गठबंधन बहाल करने की मांग बढ़ रही है। कुछ नेता गठबंधन के पक्ष में हैं, जबकि अन्य चाहते हैं कि भाजपा सभी 117 सीटों पर अकेले चुनाव लड़े। सीटों के बंटवारे और ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में भाजपा के जनाधार को लेकर चिंता बनी हुई है। क्या भाजपा अकेले अपना जनाधार बढ़ा सकती है या पंजाब में मुकाबला करने के लिए उसे अकाली दल के सहारे की जरूरत है ? क्या गठबंधन दोनों पार्टियों को मजबूत करेगा या सीटों और नेतृत्व को लेकर नए विवाद खड़े करेगा ?
With the 2027 Punjab elections approaching, the Shiromani Akali Dal is stepping up its outreach to women through financial support and its anti-drug campaign. MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal has promised a women-led drive against drug traffickers and a special task force headed by a woman DGP if the party returns to power. Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party Government is seeking women’s support through its monthly aid of ₹1,000–₹1,500. Can the Shiromani Akali Dal turn women’s concerns over drugs and financial security into political support in 2027 or must it first prove that its promises go beyond election speeches ?
