BJP to Assess Ground Pulse in Punjab Ahead of Next Year's Elections; BL Santosh Tasked To Tour Jalandhar, Amritsar, Patiala

Santhosh will visit Chandigarh, Patiala, Jalandhar, Amritsar, Bathinda, and Ludhiana to meet public representatives and gather inputs. Sources claimed an alliance is almost finalized, but remains stuck on seat sharing for the 117 assembly seats because SAD wants 5-10 seats more for the state polls.
