The Shiromani Akali Dal has sent repeated signals that it wants to rebuild ties with the BJP, after breaking their alliance over the farm laws. While the BJP continues to prepare for all 117 seats on its own, the Akalis appear more eager for a reunion. Could this difference in urgency give the BJP greater bargaining power ? Should Sukhbir Singh Badal now take the same firm stand and focus on rebuilding the Shiromani Akali Dal independently ?
शिरोमणि अकाली दल ने कृषि कानूनों के मुद्दे पर भाजपा से गठबंधन तोड़ने के बाद अब दोबारा रिश्ते बनाने के कई संकेत दिए हैं। वहीं, भाजपा 117 विधानसभा सीटों पर अकेले चुनाव लड़ने की तैयारी जारी रखे हुए है, जबकि अकाली दल गठबंधन के लिए ज्यादा उत्सुक नजर आ रहा है। क्या यह अंतर भाजपा को बातचीत में ज्यादा बढ़त दे सकता है ? क्या सुखबीर सिंह बादल को भी भाजपा की तरह कड़ा रुख अपनाकर गठबंधन की कोशिशों से पीछे हटते हुए शिरोमणि अकाली दल को अपने दम पर मजबूत करने पर ध्यान देना चाहिए ?
The Behbal Kalan firing case has refused to disappear from Punjab’s political conversation, and Sukhbir Singh Badal seeking more time to appear before the SIT puts the spotlight back on the Shiromani Akali Dal’s unresolved baggage. With the 2027 election battle already taking shape, can Sukhbir Badal afford to keep this controversy in the waiting room or could every delay give his opponents another opportunity to turn an old wound into a fresh electoral weapon ?
