The confrontation over the anti-sacrilege law and the questions raised by the Akal Takht put the Bhagwant Mann Government in a difficult position earlier this year. The issue has since moved forward, but it raised wider questions about the Government’s handling of religious matters and its relationship with Punjab’s Sikh institutions. As the 2027 election gets closer, could that episode still influence how voters view the Aam Aadmi Party ?
अप्रैल में पारित बेअदबी-विरोधी कानून को लेकर अकाल तख्त द्वारा उठाए गए सवालों ने भगवंत मान सरकार को मुश्किल स्थिति में डाल दिया था। इसके बाद सरकार और पंजाब की सिख धार्मिक संस्थाओं के रिश्ते को लेकर भी सवाल उठे। अब जब 2027 का चुनाव करीब आ रहा है, क्या उस पूरे घटनाक्रम का असर अभी भी पंजाब के मतदाताओं के बीच आम आदमी पार्टी की छवि पर पड़ सकता है ?
The BJP is publicly projecting confidence about contesting all 117 seats, while signals from the Akali Dal suggest that an alliance may still be possible.
