The Bharatiya Janata Party confirmed it will run independently in Punjab's upcoming assembly election, rejecting any tie-up with the Shiromani Akali Dal.
On Monday, the BJP declared its intention to field candidates in every one of Punjab's 117 legislative seats, ending speculation about a partnership with the SAD. Party leader BL Santosh emphasized the decision to go it alone. The announcement was made in New Delhi ahead of the state poll schedule. No details were given on potential coalition talks with other regional parties.
