Where is Punjab heading with alarming levels of government debt?
Punjab Congress has issued show-cause notices to several block presidents for skipping the party’s “Save the Constitution” events, but the real twist is what happened at the same time. Many of those leaders weren’t absent; they were attending a function hosted by Former CM Charanjit Singh Channi on the very same day. Top state leaders were there too, turning the programme into a public display of internal camps.
पंजाब कांग्रेस ने “संविधान बचाओ” कार्यक्रम में शामिल न होने पर कई ब्लॉक अध्यक्षों को कारण बताओ नोटिस भेज दिया है, लेकिन असली बात कहीं और है। जिन नेताओं को गैर-हाज़िर कहा गया, उनमें से कई उसी दिन पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री चरणजीत सिंह चन्नी के कार्यक्रम में मौजूद थे। कई बड़े नेता भी वहाँ दिखे, जिससे पार्टी का आयोजन एक बार फिर गुटबाज़ी का मंच बन गया।
Sarabjeet Singh Jhinjer has quickly become one of the loudest and most aggressive voices inside the Shiromani Akali Dal, speaking on Sikh identity, youth issues, and government failures. But Punjab politics has seen many young leaders rise fast, only to be sidelined just as quickly. So the big question now is: Will Sarabjeet Singh Jhinjer turn into a serious power centre inside SAD, or is he just a pre-election voice meant to energise crowds, not claim authority?
