punjab assembly elections

In a spiritual pilgrimage, Punjab's Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann made his way to Patna Sahib, seeking divine guidance for the implementation of the state's groundbreaking anti-sacrilege law. During his visit, he prayed for not just Punjab's prosperity but also for the establishment of world peace.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann accused the BJP of orchestrating twin blasts in Amritsar and Jalandhar as a tactic to spread fear and violence for the 2027 Assembly elections. He alleged the party seeks electoral mileage by creating unrest, particularly after the recent sacrilege law's passage. Investigations are ongoing, with security agencies exploring potential cross-border links.

Seven Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha members resigned, widening a rift that began with Swati Maliwal's assault allegations. Raghav Chadha's removal as deputy leader signaled deepening internal divides. While some cited ED/CBI fears and corruption, others like Ashok Mittal faced ED raids, fueling speculation about the BJP's 'Operation Lotus'.

Aam Aadmi Party's rising star Raghav Chadha has dramatically exited the party, along with six other Rajya Sabha members on Friday. The seven MP's announced their merger with BJP claiming that AAP "has now completely deviated from its principles, values, and morals". This move signals a significant internal rupture and an existential moment for the AAP, following Chadha's removal as deputy leader.

The Aam Aadmi Party's rift with MP Raghav Chadha has widened, with leaders accusing him of betrayal and linking ED raids on Ashok Mittal to his alleged collusion with the BJP. Chadha's removal as deputy leader and subsequent Z-category security have fueled internal dissent and public accusations.

Punjab Congress leader Khushbaz Singh Jatana and his driver were killed in a tragic accident on the KMP Expressway near Sonipat. A speeding truck rammed into their stationary SUV after it developed a tyre puncture. Jatana's gunman was critically injured in the incident.

A public spat erupted between AAP and Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha after his removal as deputy leader. Chadha claimed he was "silenced" and prevented from raising public issues in Parliament. The party, however, accused him of fearing Prime Minister Modi and hesitating to address crucial national concerns, exposing internal leadership tensions.

Raghav Chadha has been removed as the Aam Aadmi Party's deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha. Ashok Mittal has been appointed in his place. The party has also requested the Rajya Sabha secretariat not to allot speaking time to Chadha from its quota. This move comes amid reports of indiscipline and not adhering to the party line.

The BJP's decision to contest the 2027 Punjab polls solo necessitates strengthening its organizational base and grassroots structures. Past electoral defeats highlight the need to promote credible Sikh leaders and address farmer and community concerns to overcome its urban-centric image and expand its reach beyond select areas.

Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal reacted to the BJP's decision to contest the 2027 punjab assembly elections independently, stating that every party has the right to make its own alliance decisions. Badal emphasized Punjab's interests as paramount and expressed confidence in the SAD securing a landslide victory, differentiating his party from "Delhi-based parties."

Two candidates have been booked for concealing information about being proclaimed offenders in their nomination papers for the punjab assembly elections.
