BJP and Shiromani Akali Dal Near Alliance Ahead of 2027 Punjab Assembly Elections
Ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, the BJP and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) are nearing a reunion after six years, with seat-sharing talks ongoing and an announcement expected post-Diwali. The alliance aims to challenge the incumbent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government led by Bhagwant Mann, while Congress seeks to regain ground amid a fragmented political landscape. New Panthic factions and defections add complexity to the contest, with all parties preparing for a competitive multi-cornered election.
