SAD and BJP Discuss Alliance Ahead of 2027 Punjab Assembly Elections
Speculation about a possible alliance between Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the 2027 Punjab assembly elections is growing, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal hinting at progress. While BJP leaders maintain plans to contest all seats, talks on seat-sharing continue. Both parties criticize the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress. The entry of former AAP MLAs into BJP complicates alliance dynamics, with final decisions expected around Diwali.
