Punjab Ready for Change, Says BJP President on Three-Day Visit
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president Nitin Nabin on Sunday said that Punjab is poised for change, with its people looking to the party with high hopes and expectations. The state assembly is scheduled to go to polls in 2027.
Addressing events in Jalandhar and Ludhiana, Nabin said, “Punjab not only protects India’s borders but also safeguards the soul of India. Bringing Punjab out of the present crisis and making it secure, prosperous, and strong is the core agenda of the BJP. The BJP is set to script history in Punjab.”
He described Punjab as “the land of the Gurus’ teachings, the penance of saints, and the blood of martyrs,” representing a living tradition of service, dedication, and sacrifice. Nabin added, “Every grain of Punjab’s soil reminds us that a nation is not sustained merely by power; it is shaped by the values imparted by saints, and the soul of India resides in them. The rulers may change, but the soul of India has never changed.”
On the second day of his three-day visit to the state, Nabin highlighted the issue of drug abuse, calling it a curse for the people of Punjab. “Drug addiction has become a curse for the people of Punjab. We must reject it outright. It is destroying lives and devastating countless households. On this International Yoga Day, let us collectively pledge to eradicate this scourge from Punjab and the entire nation,” he said.
He reiterated the party’s commitment to the mantra of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas” as the guiding principle for India to become a developed nation by 2047.
