BJP to Decide on Possible Alliance with Akali Dal Closer to Punjab ElectionsPreviousNext

BJP chief Nitin Nabin stated that the party has not ruled out an alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal or other Akali factions in Punjab but will decide on this when the time comes. Currently, the BJP aims to strengthen its organization independently across assembly segments and plans to assess the situation closer to elections. Nabin emphasized that no decision on an alliance has been made yet, and the party will evaluate public sentiment over the next six months before deciding.
