The political landscape of Punjab took center stage during the Maghi Mela at Sri Muktsar Sahib, as parties criticized the Aam Aadmi Party's governance. BJP and Shiromani Akali Dal leaders accused the AAP of failing on promises related to improving the state's socio-economic conditions, such as controlling drug issues and enhancing law and order.

During separate gatherings, SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal announced future plans, appealing to Punjabis for support in upcoming elections, promising pro-farmer and pro-youth policies. Haryana's CM, Nayab Singh Saini, and BJP leaders echoed similar sentiments on Punjab's pressing challenges and unresolved issues.
