With Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tightly choreographed Punjab visit, from renaming Adampur airport after Guru Ravidas to stopping at Dera Sachkhand Ballan, backed by a Padma Shri for its head, the messaging is unmistakable. As Congress continues to wrestle with questions of Dalit representation within its own leadership, the BJP appears far more decisive, using names, symbols and timing to shape the political mood ahead of 2027.

Yet, despite the electoral setback, he was rewarded with ministerial rank. With the party increasingly projecting him in infrastructure announcements and public messaging, is Bittu being positioned as a long-term political investment rather than a short- term vote winner ?
