IndiaAs the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections approach, political parties are adjusting their strategies to appeal to different voter bases. The BJP, typically aligned with Hindu voters, is emphasizing its pro-Sikh stance by appointing prominent Sikh figures like Kewal Singh Dhillon and highlighting initiatives such as the Kartarpur Corridor and investigations into past anti-Sikh violence. Meanwhile, the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is focusing on consolidating the Hindu vote, which constitutes nearly 38% of Punjab's electorate. To attract Hindu voters, the AAP has launched several cultural and religious initiatives, including constructing a Mata Janaki temple, organizing devotional events, and expanding a free pilgrimage program. With the Congress facing internal divisions, the AAP sees an opportunity to capture the Hindu vote amid the BJP's shift toward Sikh outreach.
