When will some sense of responsibility prevail in decision-makers in view of the existing state of affairs?
Voting
School education in Punjab has around 9,400 Senior Secondary Schools, and around 4,600 Middle or elementary schools are providing the next level of education. Primary schools are around 13,500 in 12,580 inhabited villages.
In the 2022 assembly elections, Angad Singh Saini , a former Congress MLA from Nawanshahr, contested as an Independent after being denied the party ticket, and still polled over 31,000 votes, finishing far ahead of the official Congress candidate. He has now returned to the Congress fold, bringing that personal vote base back with him.
2022 के विधानसभा चुनाव में अंगद सिंह सैनी, जो नवांशहर से कांग्रेस के पूर्व विधायक रहे हैं, टिकट न मिलने पर निर्दलीय उम्मीदवार के तौर पर उतरे। इसके बावजूद उन्होंने 31,000 से ज्यादा वोट हासिल किए और कांग्रेस के आधिकारिक उम्मीदवार से काफी आगे रहे। अब वह फिर से कांग्रेस में लौट आए हैं और अपना निजी वोट आधार भी साथ लाए हैं।
Sushil Kumar Rinku’s political rise has been quick, but his party switches have been quicker. He won Jalandhar West in 2017 on a Congress ticket, moved to AAP and won the 2023 Lok Sabha bypoll after the demise of Santokh Singh Chaudhary, then quit AAP to join the BJP in 2024, only to lose the Lok Sabha election badly to Charanjit Singh Channi. Did these rapid switches turn early momentum into lasting damage ? And as 2027 approaches, will the BJP back Rinku again, possibly keeping Sheetal Angural aside or has voter trust already slipped beyond repair ?
