Akali Dal And Bjp Alliance

There will be no re-union of the BJP and Akali Dal in Punjab - an alliance that fractured in September 2020 amid sharp differences over the centre's (now-scrapped) three farm laws - ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha election.

The BJP does not believe in "family planning" in politics and always welcomes new allies, Union Home Amit Shah asserted on Saturday and said that talks were on with the Shiromani Akali Dal.

There is no possibility of the BJP entering into an alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal again and it will contest all elections in Punjab on its own, the party's state unit chief Ashwani Sharma said on Saturday.

The BJP will contest 65 seats in next month's Punjab elections while former Chief Minister Amarinder Singh's new party Punjab Lok Congress has got 37 and their third alliance partner Shiromani Akali Dal (Samyukt) getting 15.

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Singh Badal Tuesday said his party has a firm alliance with the BSP and it will not join hands with former partner BJP.

Taking a dig at the BJP over its oldest ally Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) breaking ties with it on the farm bills issue, senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal on Thursday said the BJP's alliance politics was "falling apart" over legislations and the ruling NDA has turned into a "non-democratic alliance".

All three controversial farm bills that are at the centre of a huge political storm and cost the ruling BJP its alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal, became laws on Sunday with the signature of President Ram Nath Kovind. Flagging them as "historic" reforms in the agri sector, the Centre has said it would help the country's farmers proceed into the...

Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh has called the Shiromani Akali Dal's move to quit the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) as nothing more than a "desperate case of political compulsion" for the Badals. The Chief Minister said the Badals were "effectively left with no other option after the BJP's public criticism of the SAD over the far...

Akali Dal's lone Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal resigned from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's cabinet on Thursday as her party faced heat from farmers over its initial support to ally BJP's farm sector bills. Ms Badal, who attended the cabinet meet that cleared the bills, stepped down shortly before the bills were passed by the Lok Sabha, tweet...

With protests across the country over the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act, that critics say discriminates against Muslims, BJP ally and Shiromani Akali Dal veteran Parkash Singh Badal today said that a government must not take sides based on religion and called for unity among all religious communities.

After weeks of hedging its bets on the Delhi assembly polls, the Shiromani Akali Dal has finally come around to renewing its electoral alliance with the BJP with a declaration that certain "misunderstandings" between the two parties have been amicably resolved.

Even if Kishor's allegations are dismissed as an exit rant, Shah ought to be worried about the BJP's alliance with Kumar. The party has lost the Shiv Sena to the rival team and another ally, the Akali Dal, is restive. Nitish Kumar doubtless wants to be seen as up for grabs. It can only help.

The Shiromani Akali Dal, a member of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance at the centre, will not contest Delhi Assembly polls, the party said today, after disagreements over seat-sharing and its stand on the citizenship law and NRC

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been formally elected as the leader of the NDA, in a parliamentary board meeting today.  Shiromani Akali Dal leader Parkash Singh Badal moved a resolution to elect PM Modi as the leader of the National Democratic Alliance or NDA Parliamentary Party, which was supported by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Ram Vila...
