AAP to focus on Guru Ravidas’ 650th birth anniversary
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab is planning to celebrate the 650th birth anniversary of Guru Ravidas in February 2027.
They will start the preparations a year early, in February 2026, with an official announcement from Khuralgarh, which is believed to be Guru Ravidas' birthplace.
The celebrations will include events throughout the year in Punjab and other states.
This is important because the AAP won a lot of support from the Scheduled Castes in the last elections, and this event could help them gain more support for the next elections in 2027.
