Where is Punjab heading with alarming levels of government debt?
As Narendra Modi speaks of strategic autonomy and Donald Trump waves the threat of 500% tariffs, the gap between talk and reality is hard to miss. If India still faces open economic pressure over its oil choices, what exactly has years of headline diplomacy delivered ? Is this strong leadership on either sides or a case of loud optics hiding unequal power play ? And when autonomy is tested this bluntly, who really looks in control ?
जब नरेंद्र मोदी रणनीतिक स्वायत्तता की बात करते हैं और डोनाल्ड ट्रंप 500% टैरिफ की धमकी देते हैं, तो बातों और हकीकत के बीच का फर्क साफ दिखता है। अगर भारत को अपने तेल के फैसलों पर अब भी खुला आर्थिक दबाव झेलना पड़ रहा है, तो सालों की हाई-प्रोफाइल कूटनीति ने आखिर दिया क्या ? क्या यह दोनों तरफ़ से मज़बूत नेतृत्व है या फिर बड़ी-बड़ी बातें और अंदर से असमान शक्ति संतुलन ? और जब स्वायत्तता इतनी सीधे परखी जाती है, तो असल में नियंत्रण किसके हाथ में दिखता है ?
As Sukhbir Singh Badal declares Gidderbaha as his next electoral battleground, the public challenge thrown by Amrinder Singh Raja Warring sounds aggressive but also revealing. Leaders unsure of their footing rarely announce their seat so early or invite a direct contest. From Jalalabad to Lambi, Badal has faced voters head-on instead of shifting ground. When the Congress president focuses on daring Badal to a seat-specific fight rather than presenting a wider political roadmap, does it quietly admit who still anchors the opposition space in Punjab ? Is this really about Gidderbaha or about acknowledging that Badal remains the central rival Congress must confront ?
