Kejriwal fuels speculation over a possible BJP-SAD alliance in Punjab after PM Modi and Sukhbir Singh Badal’s meeting ahead of the 2027 polls.
Political activity in Punjab has intensified ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections after AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal questioned whether the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) could be heading towards a renewed alliance.
The speculation gained momentum after SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Parliament on Friday. While the meeting has triggered political discussion about the possibility of the two parties coming together again, there has been no official announcement confirming a new alliance.
Kejriwal Takes a Dig at BJP and SAD
Reacting to the developments, Kejriwal posted on X and used a sarcastic reference to suggest a possible political reunion between the two parties.
His remarks have added fresh momentum to the debate around a potential BJP-SAD alliance in Punjab, particularly with the 2027 Assembly elections approaching.
The AAP leader’s comments came amid renewed attention on the political equation between the BJP and SAD, which had previously shared power and contested elections together in Punjab.
BJP Has Earlier Ruled Out Alliance Talks
The BJP has previously maintained that it intends to contest the Punjab Assembly elections independently. During a meeting of the party’s Punjab unit in June, state BJP president Kewal Singh Dhillon said the party’s focus was on development and that there was no discussion about an alliance at that stage.
The BJP has also been publicly projecting its own electoral ambitions in Punjab ahead of the 2027 polls.
Therefore, the latest discussion around a BJP-SAD alliance in Punjab remains political speculation rather than a confirmed electoral arrangement.
BJP and SAD’s Long Political Partnership
The BJP and SAD have a long history of political cooperation in Punjab. The two parties had formed coalition governments in the state before their relationship deteriorated following disagreements over the three farm laws.
The SAD subsequently left the National Democratic Alliance amid the farmers’ protests, bringing an end to the long-standing partnership.
Their political separation has since reshaped Punjab’s electoral landscape, with both parties attempting to strengthen their individual positions.

2022 Results Changed Punjab’s Political Equation
The 2022 Punjab Assembly election further altered the state’s political balance. The Aam Aadmi Party registered a sweeping victory, winning 92 of the state’s 117 Assembly seats.
The SAD and BJP, meanwhile, were reduced to three and two seats respectively, according to the election results cited in the report.
With the next Assembly election due in 2027, every development involving the major political parties is being closely watched.
Why the BJP-SAD Alliance Debate Matters
A potential BJP-SAD alliance in Punjab could have significant implications for the state’s electoral contest. Both parties have their own organisational structures and established voter bases, while their earlier partnership gives them a history of coordinated political campaigning.
However, whether the two parties actually decide to revive their alliance remains uncertain.
The BJP has been working to expand its independent footprint in Punjab, including strengthening its state organisation ahead of the 2027 election. The appointment of Kewal Singh Dhillon as Punjab BJP president has also been viewed as part of the party’s effort to broaden its appeal in the state.
Congress Also Raises Political Allegations
The political debate is not limited to the BJP and SAD. Punjab Congress leaders have also accused the BJP and AAP of political collusion.
Congress state president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring recently claimed that the party was strengthening its booth-level organisation and urged workers to remain alert ahead of the elections.
As Punjab moves closer to the 2027 Assembly polls, the possibility of changing political equations is likely to remain a major talking point.
For now, the BJP-SAD alliance in Punjab has not been officially confirmed. Kejriwal’s remarks and the Modi-Badal meeting have, however, brought the possibility of a renewed BJP-SAD relationship back into the political conversation.
