AAP Unveils Defence‑First Strategy in Punjab

India Today reports that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab has put forward a defence-first strategy, signalling a new policy focus for the state government. The announcement was made by senior party officials during a briefing in Chandigarh, though the full details of the plan were not disclosed. AAP, which has been in power in Punjab since the 2022 assembly elections, said the approach aims to prioritize defence-related concerns in its governance agenda.
