The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) are reportedly discussing a re-alliance for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls in Punjab. Talks have been confirmed by leaders of both parties, with a decision expected after SAD's core committee meeting on March 22. Initial hesitations from SAD regarding unresolved issues like MSP and Sikh prisoners have been noted. The potential alliance raises concerns from opposition leaders, highlighting possible implications on farmers' issues and religious matters. In 2019, Congress won eight out of 13 seats in Punjab, while BJP and SAD secured two each, followed by AAP with one.
