Satish Poonia appointed as Punjab BJP in-charge for 2027 assembly elections

The BJP high command has named Satish Poonia as the in-charge of the party's Punjab unit ahead of the 2027 state assembly polls. Poonia, who currently oversees the Haryana BJP, will now juggle responsibilities for both states, reflecting the party's strategy to replicate the "Haryana model" in Punjab. The decision was announced through official party channels, signalling the central leadership's confidence in Poonia's organisational skills as the election battle intensifies. Analysts note that managing two neighbouring states could pose challenges, but the BJP hopes the cross‑state coordination will strengthen its foothold in Punjab.
