The BJP’s growing confidence in Punjab is built around a clear political calculation: if it can expand its independent vote base and organisation, it may no longer need the Shiromani Akali Dal as its traditional partner. But the same strategy could also create a new problem for the SAD, if BJP begins attracting voters who once supported the alliance, the Akalis could find their own political space shrinking.

भाजपा का पंजाब में बढ़ता आत्मविश्वास एक स्पष्ट राजनीतिक गणित पर आधारित है: अगर वह अपना स्वतंत्र वोट आधार और संगठन मजबूत कर लेती है, तो उसे अपने पारंपरिक सहयोगी शिरोमणि अकाली दल की जरूरत शायद न रहे। लेकिन यही रणनीति अकाली दल के लिए नई मुश्किल भी खड़ी कर सकती है। अगर भाजपा उन मतदाताओं को अपनी ओर खींचने लगे, जो कभी अकाली-भाजपा गठबंधन को वोट देते थे, तो अकाली दल का अपना राजनीतिक आधार और सिमट सकता है। ऐसे में, जब भाजपा सभी 117 सीटों पर अकेले चुनाव लड़ने की तैयारी कर रही है, क्या पंजाब में भाजपा का विस्तार अकाली दल को और कमजोर कर सकता है ?

Is this about solving Punjab’s drug crisis or seeking votes on an issue that has remained unresolved for years ?
