Punjab Political Parties Present Agendas at Maghi Mela Ahead of 2027 Elections

Ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, key political parties addressed voters at the Maghi Mela, a significant Sikh religious event. SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal accused Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann of sacrilege and promised benefits like interest-free loans for youth and free tubewell connections for farmers. Mann reaffirmed AAP's commitment to social schemes, including monthly payments to women. The BJP held its first independent rally, promoting the Haryana governance model for Punjab's development, while Congress abstained from political events at the mela.
