Chandigarh, Mar 26: The BJP will contest the Lok Sabha polls on its own in Punjab, the party’s state unit chief Sunil Jakhar said on Tuesday.

Polling for the 13 Lok Sabha seats in Punjab will be held on June 1, the last phase of the seven-phase elections.
“The BJP is going to contest the Lok Sabha elections alone in Punjab,” Jakhar said on X.
