In Punjab, political families are increasingly splitting along party lines, reflecting a broader trend of fractured kinship ties in the state's politics.
Punjab’s political landscape has long been shaped by influential families, but recent developments suggest a growing tendency for these kinship bonds to fracture along party lines.
Observers note that alliances once forged within families are now being tested as members choose to align with rival parties.
This shift signals a move away from traditional dynastic politics toward more ideologically driven affiliations.
Analysts warn that such divisions could alter power dynamics in the state’s upcoming elections.
