Sukhbir Singh Badal praised the SAD‑BJP government’s record while Amit Shah’s NDA outreach has revived talk of a possible alliance ahead of the Punjab elections.
Punjab’s senior political figure Sukhbir Singh Badal publicly commended the tenure of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) coalition, highlighting development projects and law‑and‑order improvements attributed to the partnership.
At the same time, Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s recent campaign across the state has emphasized the benefits of a united National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Punjab, suggesting that a reunion of SAD and BJP could strengthen the alliance’s prospects in the upcoming polls.
Political analysts note that Badal’s remarks and Shah’s pitch are likely aimed at consolidating anti‑Congress sentiment, as the state prepares for a fiercely contested election. The dialogue around a possible SAD‑BJP reunion is expected to shape campaign strategies in the weeks ahead.
