Waris Punjab De's Big Bet Shapes Punjab's 2027 Poll Chessboard

Voters in Punjab, a state in India, will choose their leaders in the year 2027.

The voting is still far away, but the groups that want to win are already making their plans.

One group, called Waris Punjab De, picked a man named Satwant Singh to run for them.

Satwant Singh's father was punished long ago for hurting a former Indian leader named Indira Gandhi.

Another group, the BJP, is thinking about choosing Jai Inder Kaur, whose father used to be the leader of Punjab.

The BJP also used to be friends with a group called the Akali Dal, and some people think they might become friends again.

The leader of the Akali Dal even went to meet the Prime Minister of India, Mr. Modi.

The party that leads Punjab now, called AAP, won almost all the seats last time and wants to win again.

But this time there are more groups competing, and even the Congress party is having trouble deciding who its leader should be.

In the end, it will be up to the people of Punjab to decide who gets to be their leader.
