BJP preparing to contest all 117 seats in Punjab: Nitin Naveen
BJP President Nitin Naveen has said that the party is preparing for all 117 assembly seats in Punjab. A decision regarding an alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal will be taken at an appropriate time.
Bharatiya Janata Party National President Nitin Naveen has announced that the party is preparing across all 117 constituencies in Punjab for the upcoming assembly elections.
When asked about the possibilities of a renewed alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal, Naveen said that a decision on this matter will be made at an appropriate time. He clarified that currently the party is working at the grassroots level keeping all 117 seats in mind.
Speaking on the current situation in Punjab, the BJP president targeted both the Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress. He alleged that both parties have failed in the development and security of the state. He highlighted the spread of drugs, women's safety, and deteriorating law and order as the main issues.
Talking about the Uttar Pradesh elections, Naveen accused the Samajwadi Party and the Congress of limiting their politics only to family interests. Along with this, he also launched a political attack on Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi.
On the other hand, Congress MP Balwant Wankhede opposed Naveen's statements, stating that the Gandhi family has always given priority to the country rising above personal interests and has made sacrifices for the nation.
