PM Modi's Punjab Visit Highlights Regional Projects Amid BJP's Political Strategy Shift
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to Punjab involved inaugurating and laying foundations for infrastructure projects worth Rs 5,470 crore, distributed across Punjab's three distinct regions: Malwa, Majha, and Doaba. These regions differ politically, culturally, and linguistically, influencing state politics ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. Concurrently, the BJP is seeking to strengthen its political presence in Punjab, aiming to move from a supporting role to a leading position, despite challenges from past farm law protests and longstanding alliances with the Shiromani Akali Dal.
