BJP’s Punjab foray now includes Ravneet Bittu’s induction into Union Cabinet

The Hindu  

The induction of Ravneet Singh Bittu, who lost from Ludhiana in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, into the Union Cabinet, is seen as an attempt by the Bharatiya Janata Party to carry its expansion plan forward in Punjab. #WATCH | BJP Ravneet Singh Bittu takes oath as a Union Cabinet Minister in the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government pic.twitter.com/1JHLJaqc2u — ANI June 9, 2024 With its eye on the 2027 Assembly elections in Punjab, the BJP appears to be working on two fronts. Even though the BJP, which contested all 13 parliamentary constituencies alone, failed to win any seat in the 2024 parliamentary elections in Punjab, the party’s vote share has almost doubled from 9.63% in the 2019 Lok Sabha election to 18.56% in 2014. While in alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal in the State, the BJP’s electoral base was largely been confined to urban areas in Punjab, but by attempting to woo Sikhs, especially the landowning and numerically strong Jat Sikh community, which accounts for approximately 22% of the State’s population by some estimates, the party could be attempting to make inroads into rural Punjab, which is dominated by Jat Sikhs, who supported the Congress and the SAD, and to some extent the Aam Aadmi Party in the last Assembly election.
