In Malout, the BJP has long remained a non-player. For years, the party stayed away from the seat and never managed to make a real dent on its own. Now, as BJP claims it will contest all seats seriously going forward, the obvious question emerges.
In Dharamkot, the BJP has long stayed on the sidelines. In 2022, the party didn’t field any candidate at all. Now, with Shamsher Singh Rataul serving as BJP’s constituency in-charge, the spotlight shifts to intent versus readiness. As BJP claims it will contest all seats in Punjab, a blunt question follows. Is Dharamkot finally on the party’s map or is this still a seat where organisation exists on paper but not on the ballot ? And if 2027 is about presence, will BJP test the waters here or keep watching from the fence ?
