Battle For Purvanchal Votes: Haryana Chief Minister To Campaign In Ludhiana

As the 2027 Punjab assembly elections approach, political activities are intensifying, particularly for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is focusing on engaging the Purvanchali community. This demographic, consisting of migrants from the eastern regions of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, has established a significant presence in Punjab's industrial cities. To enhance support among these voters, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar is set to campaign in Ludhiana, a key city with a large Purvanchali population. The BJP's proactive outreach aims to solidify its position in Punjab, where the party is seeking to expand its influence among various voter segments ahead of the upcoming elections. This strategy reflects the BJP's broader plan to connect with and mobilize migrant communities, which may play a crucial role in determining the electoral outcomes in the region.
