In the recently concluded Punjab assembly elections, BJP contested independently and won two seats as against 3 seats the Saffron party won in the 2017 assembly elections which it contested in alliance with Shiromani Akali Dal Badal (SAD-B).
Punjab’s top BJP leadership has been summoned to Delhi by the party’s top brass to deliberate on the post-breaking of the alliance with SAD (B) scenario especially in wake of the re-emergence of Bikram Singh Majithia in Akali politics.
Ahead of the Punjab Assembly election, the BJP's strategy seems to have moved from confronting to co-opting the Sikhs. This long-term strategy is focused on the Sikh elite, not the general population.
Chairman of the campaign committee of Punjab Congress Sunil Jakhar on Wednesday said Congress MLA Fateh Singh Bajwa has not taken the right decision on joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
