Explained: Punjab’s three regions, and the politics behind PM’s project announcements
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation for over a dozen development projects worth ₹5,470 crore during his visit to Punjab, with investments spread across the three regions of Malwa, Doaba, and Majha. This geographical distribution signals a strategic approach ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, reflecting the state's complex political landscape shaped by regional identities and cultural diversity. The projects aim to address the distinct needs of each region rather than concentrating resources in a single area.
