Punjab has more than 20 thousand registered factories where around 8 lakh workers called blue-collar workers are employed, which is less than even 3.3% of the population of Punjab that has regular jobs.
Once the undisputed ruler of Punjab, the Congress suffered a historic defeat in 2022, winning only 18 seats after previously controlling 77. Post-defeat, the party has seen constant leadership reshuffles, Charanjit Channi’s visibility push, and internal bickering between MLAs and senior leaders. With internal rifts and public criticism mounting, is Congress genuinely trying to rebuild before 2027, or is it trapped in recycled theatrics that may cost it further ground?
कभी पंजाब की निर्विवाद शासक रही कांग्रेस को 2022 में बड़ा झटका लगा और उसने सिर्फ 18 सीटें जीतीं, जबकि पहले 77 थीं। हार के बाद पार्टी में लगातार नेता बदल रहे हैं, चरणजीत चन्नी खुद को दिखाने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं और विधायकों व वरिष्ठ नेताओं में झगड़े बढ़ रहे हैं। क्या कांग्रेस सच में 2027 से पहले सुधर रही है या सिर्फ पुराने तरीके दोहरा रही है?
