Asked whether it would have any adverse impact on the relationship between SAD and BJP in Punjab, Punj also ruled out the same and said "you may ask this question to SAD too".

On a query whether construction of Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) Canal and formation of separate Shiromani Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) would be the key issues in Haryana, Punj evaded a direct reply on the issue and said for BJP there were non-issues.

"Price rise will be the main poll plank in Haryana and BJP, which is contesting on all assembly segments on its own, will emerge as reckoning political force", He said while justifying the BJP's decision on breaking the alliance with INLD.
