BJP Engages CR Paatil and Sandeep Pathak in Punjab Assembly Election StrategyPreviousNext

The BJP is intensifying its preparations for the Punjab Assembly elections, with national president Nitin Nabin chairing strategy meetings focused on organisational expansion at booth, mandal, and district levels. Union Minister CR Paatil, a close aide of Prime Minister Modi, has been tasked with leading the campaign, while former AAP leader Sandeep Pathak supports candidate selection and ground outreach. The party aims to contest more seats than before, with no alliance discussions reported with the Shiromani Akali Dal.
