Should there be an initiative to find out how many households have 2 domestic connections per household to get the benefit of the free government scheme?

An issue worth consideration is that, in the year 2022, announcements of 600 free units were in circulation, and 2 lakh 96 thousand new domestic consumers were added.
After its decline from 15 seats in 2017 to just three in 2022, the Shiromani Akali Dal is turning to a professional consultancy firm to reshape its image before the 2027 Punjab elections. Sukhbir Singh Badal is trying door-to-door outreach and youth events, while Harsimrat Kaur Badal is leading an anti-drug campaign. But can new clothes, fresh slogans and carefully planned events rebuild public trust, or does the party need to answer harder questions about its past record ? What will matter most for Shiromani Akali Dal’s revival ?
2017 में 15 सीटें जीतने से लेकर 2022 में सिर्फ तीन सीटों पर सिमटने के बाद, शिरोमणि अकाली दल 2027 के पंजाब विधानसभा चुनावों से पहले अपनी छवि बदलने के लिए एक पेशेवर राजनीतिक सलाहकार कंपनी की मदद ले रहा है। सुखबीर सिंह बादल घर-घर जाकर लोगों से मिल रहे हैं और युवाओं के बीच कार्यक्रम कर रहे हैं, जबकि हरसिमरत कौर बादल नशे के खिलाफ अभियान चला रही हैं। लेकिन क्या नया अंदाज, नए नारे और सोच-समझकर किए गए कार्यक्रम जनता का भरोसा वापस ला सकते हैं या पार्टी को अपने पुराने कार्यकाल से जुड़े कठिन सवालों के जवाब भी देने होंगे ? शिरोमणि अकाली दल की वापसी के लिए सबसे ज्यादा क्या मायने रखेगा ?
With the 2027 Punjab elections approaching, talk of a BJP–Shiromani Akali Dal reunion has put Sukhbir Singh Badal’s political plans under the spotlight. The BJP reportedly wants at least 45 of Punjab’s 117 seats, while the question of who will lead the alliance remains a key hurdle. For Sukhbir Badal, a reunion could offer a path back to power but it may also mean giving up seats and sharing the spotlight. Is he ready to compromise for an alliance or will his ambition to lead become its biggest test ?
