BJP spokesperson RP Singh on Wednesday said the BJP was preparing to contest all 117 seats in Punjab on its own in the 2027 Assembly elections.
“This is a declared political position and not a matter of speculation. Union Home Minister Amit Shah had said in Moga that BJP would fight Punjab Assembly elections on its own,” Singh said, adding that the party was expanding across regions, communities and demographics.
He said the 2024 Lok Sabha elections demonstrated BJP’s growing acceptance in Punjab. “Contesting independently, BJP won 18.56% votes. In a five-cornered contest in 2027, BJP’s objective is to move decisively toward the 40% vote-share mark, converting growing public support into a governing mandate,” said Singh.
He said the expansion will be driven by trust among youth, farmers, women, Dalits, OBCs, traders, urban voters and large sections of the Sikh community.
