Sukhbir Singh Badal is back with a familiar electoral pitch, atta dal, ₹1 Lakh for daughters’ marriages and more welfare promises as the Shiromani Akali Dal gears up for 2027. After years of political setbacks, is the Akali Dal trying to win back Punjab not with a new political formula but with an old one repackaged for a new election ? And if every party keeps adding to the freebies menu, will Punjab’s voters be choosing the Government or simply the biggest offer ?
सुखबीर सिंह बादल 2027 के लिए एक बार फिर परिचित चुनावी पिच के साथ सामने हैं, आटा दाल योजना, बेटियों की शादी के लिए ₹1 लाख और कई अन्य कल्याणकारी वादे। वर्षों के राजनीतिक झटकों के बाद क्या शिरोमणि अकाली दल पंजाब में वापसी के लिए कोई नई राजनीतिक रणनीति नहीं, बल्कि पुराने फॉर्मूले को नए चुनावी पैकेज में पेश कर रहा है ? और अगर हर पार्टी मुफ्त सुविधाओं की इस होड़ में अपने वादे बढ़ाती जाए, तो क्या पंजाब के मतदाता सरकार चुनेंगे या फिर सबसे बड़ा ऑफर ?
With Manpreet Singh Ayali claiming that the Panth has lost trust in the Shiromani Akali Dal and that Akali Dal (Waris Punjab De) can fill the regional political vacuum, his confidence appears to be growing. But is Ayali reading Punjab’s anger against the Badal led Akali Dal as a ready made vote bank for his own party, while overlooking the harder question of whether Waris Punjab De has enough organisation, acceptance and electoral strength to convert that anger into seats ? And amid all this talk of changing Punjab’s politics, will Ayali himself be able to secure his own seat ?
