After distancing itself from Shaheen Bagh, attacking Tablighi Jamaat, and calling for Rohingya deportation, did AAP expect Muslim voters to remain loyal?
Review - DEKHO
Looks like Kejriwal’s strategy of ‘silent surrender’ to BJP’s policies turn into a full-scale ‘Political Surrender’?
As the AAP Government in Punjab clears 40 free shows of 'Humare Ram' ahead of the Assembly elections, the move looks less like culture promotion and more like careful political choreography. With Hindu voters concentrated in key urban seats and the BJP trying to expand its footprint, AAP’s outreach now blends governance with symbolism. The sharper question is not about the play, but the timing. Is this an honest cultural initiative or a calculated attempt to blunt BJP’s core appeal using faith-infused politics of its own ? And if every party courts voters through religion when elections near, how different is the “new politics” AAP once promised ?
पंजाब में विधानसभा चुनाव से पहले "आप" सरकार द्वारा ‘हमारे राम’ के 40 मुफ्त शो को मंज़ूरी देना, संस्कृति के प्रचार से ज़्यादा सियासी रणनीति जैसा दिखता है। शहरी इलाकों में केंद्रित हिंदू मतदाताओं और पंजाब में अपनी पकड़ बढ़ाने की कोशिश कर रही भाजपा के बीच, "आप" की यह पहल अब शासन और प्रतीकवाद का मिश्रण बनती नज़र आती है। असली सवाल नाटक का नहीं, उसके समय का है। क्या यह एक ईमानदार सांस्कृतिक पहल है या भाजपा के कोर वोटबैंक को उसी की भाषा में जवाब देने की कोशिश ? और अगर चुनाव आते ही हर पार्टी धर्म के सहारे मतदाताओं तक पहुँचती है, तो "आप" की कही गई “नई राजनीति” कितनी अलग रह जाती है ?
When Simaranjit Singh Mann openly says that Sukhbir Singh Badal should not be afraid of losing Hindu votes if all Akali factions come together, it exposes the real tension beneath the talk of unity. On paper, a united Akali front is often described as the only way back to power in Punjab. But if unity depends on calculations about which community votes where, how sincere is the call to stand on one platform ? Is the hesitation really about protecting ideology and principles or about protecting political turf, leadership control and vote banks ? And as Punjab moves toward the next election cycle, will Akali leaders rise above fear and fragmentation or keep unity as a slogan rather than a strategy ?
