Punjab Political Landscape Heats Up Ahead of 2027 Assembly Elections
Punjab approaches the 2027 Assembly elections amid political tensions and public dissatisfaction.

Incidents such as the detention of a Congress MLA and protests against BJP leader Raghav Chadha reflect rising political confrontations. Stubble burning has declined significantly, though enforcement remains contentious ahead of the polls.
