Why are alliance speculations being made
It is noteworthy that after the death of Akali Dal leader and former Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal, there is speculation of an alliance. After his death, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had canceled all the schedules and reached Chandigarh to pay his last respects. Not only this, BJP national president JP Nadda had reached the funeral the next day. Union Home Minister Amit Shah had reached Badal village for the last prayer of the former chief minister. With this, the BJP has given a message that even if the Akali Dal has left them, they never leave the company of their old comrades.
