Punjab Elections

Punjab’s 2027 Assembly contest is taking shape around competing campaigns on governance, welfare, drugs, agriculture and regional politics. AAP has begun a door-to-door campaign highlighting its government’s record, while BJP is conducting an anti-drug yatra across the state. At the same time, Congress, SAD and Akali Dal (Waris Punjab De) are working to expand their organisational and political space ahead of the election.

Punjab’s 2027 political contest is increasingly centred on the drug crisis, with major parties using the issue to challenge rivals and strengthen their voter outreach. The BJP and SAD are pursuing separate anti-drug campaigns, while AAP and Congress are focusing on governance, past government records and the wider trafficking network.

Punjab's 2027 Assembly contest is already entering an active organisational phase, with AAP, BJP and Congress strengthening their respective ground networks. The emerging campaign is likely to focus heavily on governance, agriculture, employment, drug-related concerns, welfare and water management.

Political observers say the BJP's Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra should be viewed as both an anti-drug campaign and an effort to strengthen the party's grassroots presence ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly election.

Punjab is entering an increasingly active phase of preparations for the 2027 Punjab Assembly election, with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Congress, BJP and other Political Parties stepping up organisational and campaign activities across the state.

Ahead of the Punjab Assembly Election 2027, the BJP has launched a statewide Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra focused on the issue of drugs. Four simultaneous yatras are planned to cover nearly 4,000 kilometres and all 117 Assembly constituencies, making the campaign a significant part of the party's pre-election outreach.

Political tensions in Punjab have intensified as Congress stepped up its attack on the Bhagwant Mann-led AAP government over the drug menace, law and order and governance concerns. The opposition campaign comes as Congress prepares for the upcoming Punjab Assembly election and Sachin Pilot takes charge of the party’s state affairs.
