With former Punjab minister and Sangrur MP Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer set to become the Secretary of the Punjab Cricket Association unopposed, his role now extends across politics, governance and sports administration. Having risen steadily from MLA to minister and now MP as one of the younger faces of the Aam Aadmi Party, could this new position further elevate his influence and public visibility ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, or will it reignite debate about the growing overlap between political power and control of sports institutions in the state ?
पूर्व पंजाब मंत्री और संगरूर से सांसद गुरमीत सिंह मीत हेयर का पंजाब क्रिकेट एसोसिएशन का निर्विरोध सचिव बनना तय माना जा रहा है। इसके साथ ही उनकी भूमिका अब राजनीति, प्रशासन और खेल प्रबंधन तक फैलती दिखाई दे रही है। आम आदमी पार्टी के युवा चेहरों में शामिल मीत हेयर ने विधायक से मंत्री और फिर सांसद तक का सफर तय किया है। ऐसे में सवाल उठता है कि क्या यह नया पद 2027 के पंजाब विधानसभा चुनावों से पहले उनकी राजनीतिक पकड़ और सार्वजनिक पहचान को और मजबूत करेगा, या फिर राज्य में राजनीति और खेल संस्थाओं के बढ़ते मेल को लेकर नई बहस को जन्म देगा ?
