Punjab Assembly polls | NDA firms up alliance, BJP senior partner for first time

The Hindu  

The NDA on Monday announced its seat sharing arrangement for the Punjab Assembly polls, with the BJP to fight on 65 seats, the Captain Amarinder Singh led Punjab Loktantrik Congress on 37 seats and the Akali Dal led by Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa fighting on 15 seats. Making the announcement, and flanked by allies Mr Singh and Mr Dhindsa along with Jal Shakti minister Gajendra Shekhawat who is party in charge for the Punjab polls, BJP president J P Nadda said that the seat sharing could be adjusted for a seat or two this way or that, but that largely this would be the broader contour of seat sharing between the parties. He spoke at length about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s interventions with regard to long pending issues of the Sikh community and his “special bond” with Punjab. Grateful for withdrawal of farm laws Mr Dhindsa on his part said that the NDA alliance came about because “the situation in Punjab is quite bad, farmers are under debt, industry isn’t there and in every election, there are issues of Hindu-Sikh or Hindu-Muslim, so we decided that we need to fight together to ensure our bhaichara.” He expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Modi for withdrawing the three contentious farm laws and declaring December 26 as, Vir Bal diwas giving due recognition to the sacrifice of the two Sahibzadas.
