Chandigarh, May 4
Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar credited the party’s massive victory in West Bengal for the first time, and its return to power in Assam and Puducherry, to the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with the guidance of National President Nitin Nabin and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. He stated that Punjab will witness similar results in 2027.
Speaking to the media at the party headquarters while celebrating the victories in various states, Jakhar praised the dedication of party workers in West Bengal and paid tribute to their perseverance. He said they stood firm against the alleged oppression of the ruling party and helped form a government committed to the principle of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.”
Jakhar added that West Bengal was a major challenge for the party, and under strong leadership and with the support of the people, that challenge has now been overcome. With the same enthusiasm, the party has begun preparations for the upcoming elections in Punjab.
Jakhar said the Bengal results would energize party workers and instill hope that if the BJP can come to power in Bengal, it can do so in Punjab as well. He alleged that law and order in Bengal was poor and politically motivated oppression was prevalent, adding that Punjab is also facing similar concerns. He claimed the AAP government has failed on all fronts. He called upon party workers to begin preparations for the 2027 elections with determination and hard work, stating that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a special affection for Punjab and the party will take its message to every household.
Jakhar asserted that AAP’s exit from Punjab is certain. Taking a dig at the Chief Minister over the issue of taking MLAs to Delhi by bus, he remarked that the Chief Minister should ensure the bus doesn’t turn towards the BJP office. The BJP leader further claimed that Congress has been wiped out not only in Punjab but across the country. He said that in Punjab, Congress has surrendered before the ruling party, and alleged that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has allowed his MLAs free rein in corrupt activities to save his position. He concluded by saying that the coming months may be challenging for Punjab, but the BJP will stand firmly to protect the interests of the state and its people.
