The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is gearing up for the upcoming assembly elections in Punjab, aiming to contest all 117 seats. According to BL Santosh, the BJP’s national general secretary (Organisation), the party is confident in its ability to secure victory and establish a government in the state. Santosh emphasized that Punjab is ready for a political change, and the BJP is fully prepared to facilitate that transition.
These meetings will focus particularly on strengthening the organisation up to the booth level and taking the party’s policies and the achievements of the Central Government under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to the people of Punjab. The objective of these meetings is to review the functioning of the organisation across different regions of Punjab and strengthen organisational preparedness, coordination and the active participation of party workers at the grassroots level. Cheema targeted the Akali Dal also, saying it is a party under which incidents involving the desecration of Guru Granth Sahib and other religious scriptures took place. “The entry and spread of drugs in Punjab happened during the Akali Dal-BJP government. The people of Punjab have not forgotten this. “Not a single new hospital was opened. The law and order situation is bad and mafia is ruling in Punjab.
Therefore, no political party can compete with the Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab. “Before March 2022, our National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann gave five guarantees, and we have fulfilled all five guarantees within four years. It is a direct contest, and we will improve upon the performance we achieved in 2022,” he added.
“Whether the BJP contests alone or in alliance with anyone, it will not be able to succeed in Punjab, said state Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema. When the results come, they will be reduced to zero,” he said. Punjab has been marginalised and its debt is increasing every day,” the BJP said.
