Where is Punjab heading with alarming levels of government debt?
The Aam Aadmi Party has announced 71 candidates for the 2027 Punjab elections, dropping several sitting MLAs. With anti-incumbency concerns, a possible BJP–Shiromani Akali Dal alliance and an active Congress campaign, the party faces a tough test.

आम आदमी पार्टी ने 2027 के पंजाब विधानसभा चुनावों के लिए 71 उम्मीदवारों की घोषणा कर दी है और कई मौजूदा विधायकों के टिकट काट दिए हैं। सत्ता विरोधी लहर की आशंकाओं, भाजपा–शिरोमणि अकाली दल के संभावित गठबंधन और कांग्रेस के सक्रिय चुनाव प्रचार के बीच पार्टी के सामने बड़ी चुनौती है। क्या आम आदमी पार्टी ने मजबूत स्थिति में रहते हुए उम्मीदवारों की घोषणा जल्दी की है या सत्ता विरोधी लहर से होने वाले राजनीतिक नुकसान को रोकने की कोशिश कर रही है ?
Agriculture Minister Gurmeet Singh Khudian, who defeated five-time Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal in 2022, has been denied the AAP ticket from Lambi.

Has AAP rewarded Khudian’s loyalty by giving his nephew a chance or has the party sidelined a leader who once delivered a major electoral victory ?
