Speculation surrounds a potential reunion of the Shiromani Akali Dal and the Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of the Punjab Assembly elections. The developments follow Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and backing the central government's delimitation plan and Women's Reservation Bill.
