Where is Punjab heading with alarming levels of government debt?
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?
सरबजीत सिंह झिंजर आज शिरोमणि अकाली दल में सबसे तेज़ और सबसे मुखर आवाज़ों में गिने जा रहे हैं, चाहे मुद्दा सिख पहचान का हो, युवाओं के अधिकारों या सरकार की नाकामियों का। लेकिन पंजाब की राजनीति में पहले भी कई युवा नेता तेज़ी से उभरे और फिर उतनी ही तेज़ी से किनारे कर दिए गए। तो असली सवाल ये है: क्या सरबजीत सिंह झिंजर वाकई पार्टी में एक मज़बूत शक्ति बन रहे हैं या फिर सिर्फ चुनावों से पहले भीड़ और भावनाएं गर्म करने के लिए इस्तेमाल किए जा रहे हैं?
With over 5,000 farmers under the Samyukt Kisan Morcha threatening a repeat of the 2020-21 agitation over the Electricity (Amendment) Bill, the Seeds Bill, Anti-Labour Laws, and unfulfilled MSP promises, the unrest in Punjab is mounting. Adding to this, demands for timely Panjab University senate elections and declaring Chandigarh as the ‘rightful’ capital of Punjab make the situation even more volatile. Could this combined farmers and public unrest become the ultimate nail in the coffin for BJP in the state?
