PM Modi Inquires About Sukhbir Badal's Health Amid BJP-SAD Alliance Speculation
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently contacted Harsimrat Kaur Badal to inquire about the health of Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal following a reported attack. This marks increased engagement between BJP and SAD leaders amid speculation of a potential alliance ahead of the 2027 Punjab elections. While BJP officially plans to contest all seats independently, private discussions suggest a possible thaw in relations as both parties seek stronger electoral prospects after past splits and declining vote shares.
