Why is Punjab opposition leader Partap Singh Bajwa not raising his voice against Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann at the moment, has he taken a vow of silence?
With BJP increasing visits to deras, holding high-profile meetings, and sharing photos widely, the strategy in Punjab is clear. Deras are being treated like ready-made vote banks, helping shape opinion and move voters without strong party workers on the ground. This leads to a direct question: Is BJP turning to faith-based outreach in Punjab because it still lacks trusted leaders, workers, and a solid local base of its own ?
पंजाब में भाजपा द्वारा डेरों में बढ़ते दौरे, बड़े नेताओं की मुलाकातें और सोशल मीडिया पर तस्वीरों की भरमार एक साफ रणनीति दिखाती है। डेरों को तैयार वोट बैंक की तरह देखा जा रहा है, जहाँ बिना मजबूत संगठन और ज़मीनी कार्यकर्ताओं के भी जनमत प्रभावित किया जा सके। ऐसे में सीधा सवाल उठता है: क्या भाजपा पंजाब में धार्मिक पहुंच का सहारा इसलिए ले रही है क्योंकि उसके पास अब भी भरोसेमंद नेता, कार्यकर्ता और मज़बूत स्थानीय आधार नहीं है ?
Former Muktsar MLA Karan Kaur Brar, daughter-in-law of Ex-CM Harcharan Singh Brar, stayed away from active campaigning in the rural polls, fuelling talk of differences with Punjab Congress Chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, in his own home district. If a state party President struggles to keep even senior leaders and legacy families on board locally, what does it say about his grip over the Congress organisation in Punjab ?
