Harsimrat Badal's Remark Sparks Speculation of SAD-BJP Alliance Revival

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and BJP, once long-standing alliance partners in Punjab, have been estranged since 2020 when their relationship broke down over the contentious farm laws. A cryptic remark by SAD leader Harsimrat Kaur Badal has now reignited speculation about a possible reconciliation between the two parties. The two parties had shared power and contested elections together for several decades before the split. Political observers are closely watching whether the comment signals a genuine thaw in relations between the former allies.
