BJP to Contest Punjab Polls Alone, Vows Anti-Conversion Law and Drug-Free State

Chandigarh, March 14: Announcing that the BJP will contest the 2027 Punjab Assembly polls alone, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday vowed that the BJP will enact an anti-conversion law within a month of forming the government in Punjab and wipe out the drug trade in two years. Launching the party’s poll campaign while addressing a "badlav rally’’ in Punjab's Moga district, Shah promised that the double-engine government will rescue Punjab from drugs and debt and announced that though the BJP remained a junior partner to Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) in the past, it began from this day its campaign to form its own government. "You have tried the Congress, Akalis and AAP, now give BJP a chance’’, he said. AAP-दा सरकार ने ड्रग्स, करप्शन के संरक्षण से पंजाब के युवाओं का भविष्य अंधकारमय बनाया और वोट बैंक के लिए धर्मांतरण को बढ़ावा दिया। भाजपा, सरकार बनते ही धर्मांतरण पर रोक लगाएगी और नशामुक्त पंजाब बनाएगी। मोगा में इस अपार समर्थन के लिए पंजाब की जनता का आभार। #BadlavRallyPunjab pic.twitter.com/04z2cJWwbv पंजाब की जनता AAP सरकार के भ्रष्टाचार और कुशासन से त्रस्त है और बदलाव चाहती है। मोगा की ‘बदलाव रैली’ से लाइव… ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੀ ਜਨਤਾ AAP ਸਰਕਾਰ ਦੇ ਭ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਟਾਚਾਰ ਅਤੇ ਕੁਸ਼ਾਸਨ ਤੋਂ ਤੰਗ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਬਦਲਾਅ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ। ਮੋਗਾ ਦੀ ‘ਬਦਲਾਅ ਰੈਲੀ’ ਤੋਂ ਲਾਈਵ… #BadlavRallyPunjab https://t.co/SjbyGyq9xn Anti-conversion law promise Taking on ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress, Shah held that Sikh Gurus made supreme sacrifices against the forced conversions, yet these parties treated the same as a vote bank. Making a major poll promise, he said that the BJP will enact an anti-conversion law within a month of coming to power. Vows to end drug menace On the drugs menace, the Home Minister held that 45% of heroin smuggling in the country was linked to Punjab and the BJP will wipe out the drug trade from the state within two years of coming to power. Shah also hit out at Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, alleging that the latter neglected the state and remained a remote-controlled CM serving the party boss and Punjab had become an ATM for AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal. Punjab did not need a comedian CM, but one who governed, Shah took a dig at Mann, adding that a collapse of the law and order situation in Punjab showed there was not any government. Also Watch: Criticism of AAP government Earlier, prior to addressing the rally, Shah said in a post on X that the AAP government has drowned Punjab in corruption, drugs and crime and that every person in Punjab wanted "badlav’’ (change). Punjab BJP leaders, including state chief Sunil Jakhar, Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu and state party working president Ashwani Sharma, also addressed the rally.
