00:00Is the Shiromani Akali Dal set to become alliance partners again with the Bharatiya Janata Party?
00:05Remember, this was an alliance that had decided to then part ways during the Farmers.net.
00:12Har Simrit Kaur Badal, representing the Shiromani Akali Dal,
00:16she is of course, remember, has been a senior member of parliament, senior city leader.
00:20She's dropped a certain hint, though not completely clear, addressing a rally at Sangroor.
00:25Har Simrit Badal says, I quote her here,
00:26The works you are telling are very small, may God bless, but speaking further is not my duty.
00:31You will come to know yourself, may God bless and people give us strength.
00:35Such alliances happen.
00:37The way your development and progressive works were done from Delhi,
00:40Foundation of Development and Progression is leading Punjab, helping Punjab.
00:44Let's listen in first.
01:16Let's try and get an understanding on this.
01:18Aseem Bassi is joining me.
01:20Aseem now Har Simrit, who is the wife of Subbir Singh Badal, is a veteran leader in her own right.
01:25What should we make of her statement referring to works done in Delhi?
01:29What is your assessment of a possible reigniting of the alliance between BJP and Sydney?
01:38Well, ever since Subbir Badal met the Prime Minister and Narendra Modi a few days back,
01:42the speculation was rife that Shromini Akali Dal and BJP may get together again before the 2027 Vithan Sabah polls.
01:49And now, Har Simrit Kaur Badal, who is a senior MP also from Bathinda and basically wife of Subbir Badal,
01:56she has openly given a hint that God may bless us, people give us strength.
02:03Such alliances happen that the works that were being done from Delhi for the progress of Punjab are again done
02:09with this.
02:10So, it is clear because Shromini Akali Dal and BJP were together in alliance
02:14and they had a government from 2007 to 2017 in Punjab.
02:19Thereafter, they split after the farm laws controversy came up.
02:22But now, after the meeting of Subbir Badal and the Prime Minister Modi and now regular,
02:28these kind of statements now given by Har Simrit Kaur Badal and later when Subbir Badal was also attacked a
02:33few days back,
02:35Prime Minister giving a call to Har Simrit Kaur Badal and Har Simrit showing courtesy.
02:39So, these are all basically moving towards that direction and the speculation is very, very rife in Punjab
02:44that yes, alliance may happen, is on the cards before these polls, with Han Sabah 2027 polls
02:51and today's Har Simrit Kaur Badal's statement is a big hint towards that direction.
02:54I think definitely, I think something is happening behind the curtains.
02:57Once, strong alliance partners, Sri Ramani Akali Dal Dal and the Bhartya Janata Party parted ways,
03:02but will that ideology bring them back together?
03:05Will it help them in upcoming Punjab polls?
03:08We'll be tracking that.
03:08If that happens, remember you heard it first here on India Today.
