This time, it will go it alone. Union Home Minister Amit Shah is directly in charge of the state. The BJP leadership believes that the changing equations in Punjab politics can lead it to a big opportunity. According to sources, Amit Shah is going to call an important meeting of Punjab BJP leaders this month. The anti-drug campaign in the state will be finalized in this meeting. The party believes that the issue of drugs is very sensitive in both Punjab politics and society. It can send a strong message to the public. The BJP has decided that it will not enter into an alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal in the upcoming assembly elections. This time, it will field its candidates in all the 117 assembly seats of the state. This decision is being taken to establish the party's identity and organizational strength in Punjab politics.
