The BJP's Calculated Gamble in Punjab: A Brewing Storm The upcoming assembly elections in Punjab have set off a chain reaction in Indian politics, with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) facing its first major test since coming to power in 2022.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), traditionally weak in the state, has been building momentum through a well planned strategy that combines defection politics, aggressive campaigning, and promises of development.
The Congress, with 18 seats in the assembly and a strong organisational presence, should be the AAP's principal challenger.
