BJP Versus SAD: Political Alliances and Controversies in Punjab

Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu highlighted BJP's potential to independently gain power in Punjab, dismissing the need for an alliance with SAD. He criticized SAD for its alleged role in Punjab's drug and gangsterism issues. AAP's Baltej Pannu questioned such potential alliances, stressing past detrimental government roles.

Union Minister of State Ravneet Singh Bittu has underscored the BJP's capability to ascend to power in Punjab autonomously, negating any requirement to renew its past alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD).

Addressing speculations about potential alliances, Bittu dismissed discussions on aligning with SAD, critiquing the Akali regime for the rise in drug and gangster activities during their tenure. This statement was strongly opposed by AAP leader Baltej Pannu, who urged a reconsideration of such political strategies.

The ongoing protests by Punjab BJP leaders highlight their dissatisfaction with the Aam Aadmi Party's management of state law and order, projecting a direct challenge to the current government's policies and effectiveness in curbing criminal activities and corruption.
