Will BSP make SAD happy in Punjab's forthcoming assembly elections?

In partnership with SAD(B), the BJP used to contest 23 assembly seats leaving 94 seats for the Akalis. In the 2017 assembly elections, BJP could win only 3 assembly seats. 

New Delhi: Punjab witnessed a political marriage of convenience after Sukhbir Singh Badal led Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD-B) made an alliance with Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and this happened ahead of the 2022 battle of the ballot when Akali's are leaving nothing to chances to regain the control of the state especially after breaking ties with a long time coalition partner the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on the issue of three agriculture laws aiming to keep its majority vote bank -peasantry- intact.   But only time holds the key to how long and how successful the new political partnership will last and how both parties transform the newfound friendship to add to their respective vote bank- a key factor behind the new alliance.  In partnership with SAD(B), the BJP used to contest 23 assembly seats leaving 94 seats for the Akalis. In the 2017 assembly elections, BJP could win only 3 assembly seats.
