With Captain Amarinder Singh’s possible return to Congress becoming a topic of discussion, Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa dismissed the speculation as mere “kite flying,” even as the party prepares for the 2027 elections and several leaders are seen as Chief Ministerial aspirants. If Bajwa has downplayed the comeback talk so strongly, is his stand based purely on political reality or does it also reflect concerns that Amarinder’s return could upset the leadership balance and complicate his own Chief Ministerial ambitions ahead of 2027 ?
कैप्टन अमरिंदर सिंह की कांग्रेस में संभावित वापसी की चर्चाओं के बीच नेता प्रतिपक्ष प्रताप सिंह बाजवा ने इन अटकलों को “पतंग उड़ाने” जैसा करार दिया है। वहीं 2027 चुनाव से पहले कई नेता मुख्यमंत्री पद के संभावित चेहरे के रूप में देखे जा रहे हैं। ऐसे में सवाल यह है कि क्या बाजवा का बयान केवल राजनीतिक वास्तविकता पर आधारित है या फिर कैप्टन अमरिंदर सिंह की वापसी से राज्य इकाई के नेतृत्व संतुलन पर असर और उनकी अपनी मुख्यमंत्री की संभावनाओं को लेकर भी चिंता झलकती है ?
As the ruling AAP took out drum processions and street protests against Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa’s remarks, Punjab saw a rare spectacle, the Government behaving like the opposition. While the party called it a fight against personal and derogatory politics, the episode has raised a larger question about priorities and political messaging. When those in power choose street demonstrations, public shows of strength and high-decibel protests instead of institutional action or policy debate, is it a sign of strong political confidence or an attempt to shift the conversation away from tougher governance questions ?
