Will take decision on alliance with Akali Dal at right time: BJP leader Nitin Nabin

Amid speculations of a reunion between the Shiromani Akali Dal and the Bharatiya Janata Party, BJP national leader Nitin Nabin has clarified his stance. He said that any decision regarding an electoral agreement with the Akali Dal will be made only when the right time comes.

During an interview in New Delhi, Nitin Nabin stated that the BJP is expanding its organizational reach within all 117 constituencies of Punjab. He mentioned that if the party becomes stronger at the grassroots level, the leadership will follow that path and take the right steps when the opportunity arises.

Speaking on the security situation of the state, the BJP leader said that the central government is active in strengthening the security of border areas, but the internal conditions of the state are extremely concerning and the law and order situation has weakened.

Raising questions on the Bhagwant Mann administration, Nitin Nabin alleged that the state government is not fulfilling its responsibility towards the difficulties of citizens. He claimed that due to the failures of the ruling party and the Congress, major political opportunities have been created for the BJP in Punjab.

Notably, over the past few days, speculations regarding a revived agreement and seat sharing between the two factions had been continuously intensifying in the political corridors of the state.
