Punjab’s drug crisis has affected families and communities for years. Yet BJP leaders from outside Punjab, including Shivraj Singh Chouhan, are promising to dismantle the entire drug network within six months if BJP comes to power. How can leaders who have not governed Punjab make such a sweeping promise about one of the state’s deepest crises ? Is BJP turning Punjab’s pain into an election promise without showing a clear Punjab-specific plan ?
पंजाब का नशा संकट वर्षों से परिवारों और समुदायों को प्रभावित कर रहा है। फिर भी पंजाब से बाहर के भाजपा नेता, जिनमें शिवराज सिंह चौहान भी शामिल हैं, भाजपा के सत्ता में आने पर छह महीने के भीतर पूरे नशा नेटवर्क को खत्म करने का वादा कर रहे हैं। जिन नेताओं ने पंजाब में शासन नहीं किया, वे राज्य के इतने गहरे संकट को लेकर इतना बड़ा दावा कैसे कर सकते हैं ? क्या भाजपा पंजाब के दर्द को चुनावी वादे में बदल रही है, बिना कोई स्पष्ट पंजाब-केंद्रित योजना सामने रखे ?
Hardeep Singh Puri says the BJP will not ally with the Shiromani Akali Dal at present and that the old 22-seat formula is finished. Yet BJP leaders keep discussing what a future alliance would look like, including equal seat-sharing. If BJP has already put a full stop on the SAD alliance, why does it keep explaining the terms of an alliance that supposedly does not exist ? Is the door really closed or is BJP just keeping the “maybe” button within reach for 2027 ?
