Chandigarh, November 12, 2025: Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu on Wednesday ruled out any possibility of an alliance between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) in the upcoming 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, asserting that the BJP will contest all seats independently.
Addressing the media in Chandigarh, Bittu said the party is confident in its growing strength in Punjab and will go solo in the electoral battle.
“The BJP will not form any alliance with the Akali Dal. We will contest the 2027 Assembly polls on our own,” he declared.
The minister also commented on the ongoing student protests at Panjab University over the Senate elections, stating that the Central Government has accepted nearly all student demands except for the announcement of the election dates.
He added that the Vice Chancellor has already written to the Chancellor requesting the declaration of the schedule, which is expected soon.
