Political activity in Punjab has intensified ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, with another possible party switch emerging from Jalandhar.
Former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) constituency in-charge Dinesh Dhall is set to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), according to reports and the induction is expected to take place under the leadership of Punjab BJP leader Kewal Dhillon.
Dhall’s possible move to the BJP comes ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, when political parties are expected to step up their organisational activities and strengthen their positions across the state and according to sources, Dhall has been assured a BJP ticket for the 2027 Assembly elections and is expected to contest the polls as a BJP candidate, however, the party has not publicly announced the ticket or formally confirmed the candidature at this stage.
The development is significant for Jalandhar's political landscape as parties prepare for the 2027 Assembly elections.
AAP, BJP, Congress and other political formations are likely to focus on strengthening their local organisations and identifying potential candidates as the elections approach.
