How many years has the government led by the people who claimed their priority is the Panthik agenda ruled the state? Have they ever bothered to collect and register the historic morchas and unlimited sacrifices made by cadres and non-cadres? The maximum of these are unregistered and unlisted.

What will future generations learn when there is no availability of an authentic document or written manuscripts of those times? How uncaring and casual isn’t it?
Among the probable Chief Ministerial faces ahead of the 2027 Punjab elections, Sukhbir Singh Badal remains the central figure in the Shiromani Akali Dal’s leadership discussion. Despite his Jalalabad defeat in 2022 and being outside the Assembly, he continues to lead the party’s revival efforts and position himself as a key opposition voice. At the same time, internal dissent, breakaway groups, and new factions formed by former Akali leaders have exposed deep organisational cracks. In this backdrop, the real question is whether projecting him again as the CM face will consolidate the party or whether leadership fatigue and internal divisions could limit the reset the Akali Dal is aiming for ?
2027 के पंजाब विधानसभा चुनावों से पहले संभावित मुख्यमंत्री चेहरों में सुखबीर सिंह बादल शिरोमणि अकाली दल की नेतृत्व चर्चा के केंद्र में बने हुए हैं। 2022 में जलालाबाद से हार और विधानसभा से बाहर रहने के बावजूद, वे पार्टी के पुनरुत्थान की कोशिशों का नेतृत्व कर रहे हैं और खुद को एक प्रमुख विपक्षी आवाज़ के रूप में स्थापित कर रहे हैं। वहीं, पार्टी के भीतर असंतोष, अलग हुए नेता और नए गुटों के गठन ने संगठनात्मक चुनौतियों को भी उजागर किया है। ऐसे में बड़ा सवाल यह है कि क्या उन्हें फिर से मुख्यमंत्री चेहरे के रूप में आगे करना पार्टी को एकजुट करेगा या नेतृत्व को लेकर थकान और अंदरूनी मतभेद पार्टी के पुनर्गठन की राह को सीमित कर सकते हैं ?
As the Shiromani Akali Dal looks for a political reset ahead of the 2027 Punjab elections, there is growing talk within party circles about whether projecting Harsimrat Kaur Badal as the Chief Ministerial face could change the narrative. A three-time MP from Bathinda and former Union Minister, she brings administrative experience, a wider public profile, and could also become the Akali Dal’s first woman Chief Minister if projected. With several leaders having rebelled, drifted away or joined other parties amid resentment over Sukhbir Singh Badal’s leadership, the key question is whether a leadership recalibration could help bridge internal divides and present the party as a united and stronger regional force once again ?
