Political Parties Plan Dalit Outreach at Dera Sachkhand Ballan Ahead of Punjab Polls
Ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, political parties are organizing Dalit outreach programs centered on Dera Sachkhand Ballan, a key spiritual site for the Ravidassia community. The BJP plans to launch the 'Samajik Samrasta Sankalp' yatra from the dera on November 18, culminating in Varanasi in early December, with leaders like Nitin Nabin and Prime Minister Narendra Modi involved. Former Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi and the AAP government have also scheduled events at the dera, reflecting its political and cultural significance among Punjab's Scheduled Caste population.
