At the moment, Punjab has a storage capacity of about 165 lakh metric tonnes of warehouses, 7 lakh tonnes of silos, and 40 lakh tonnes of covered area sheds. The noise is starting again about where to store the new crop.

In your opinion, is it necessary to immediately fix responsibility and take legal action or not?
Rana Gurmeet Singh Sodhi was the MLA from Guru Har Sahai from 2002 to 2017, where he built his strongest political base. Before the 2022 elections, he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party and was fielded from Firozpur City, but lost the 2022 Assembly election. In 2024, BJP again backed him from Firozpur, where he faced another defeat. After back-to-back losses outside his core area, will BJP now test Rana Sodhi from Guru Har Sahai, where his roots run deep to engineer a comeback or does the party still see his future beyond his traditional stronghold as it looks toward 2027 ?
राणा गुरमीत सिंह सोढ़ी 2002 से 2017 तक गुरु हर सहाय से विधायक रहे, जहां उन्होंने अपना सबसे मज़बूत राजनीतिक आधार बनाया। 2022 के चुनाव से पहले वह भाजपा में शामिल हो गए और भाजपा ने उन्हें फिरोजपुर सिटी से मैदान में उतारा, लेकिन वह विधानसभा चुनाव हार गए।2024 में भाजपा ने एक बार फिर उन्हें फिरोजपुर से लोकसभा चुनाव लड़ाया, जहां उन्हें दोबारा हार का सामना करना पड़ा। अब सवाल यह है, अपने मज़बूत क्षेत्र से बाहर लगातार दो हार के बाद, क्या भाजपा 2027 को देखते हुए राणा सोढ़ी को फिर से गुरु हर सहाय से आज़माएगी ताकि उनकी वापसी हो सके या पार्टी अब भी उनके भविष्य को उनके पारंपरिक गढ़ से बाहर ही देख रही है ?
When the rebel Akali faction was launched, voices like Prem Singh Chandumajra and others spoke with confidence about moral authority, Panthic backing, and an inevitable challenge to Sukhbir Badal’s leadership. Today, as Giani Harpreet Singh offers to “sacrifice” his post and key figures quietly step back, those bold claims seem to have faded. So the uncomfortable question is, where did the certainty of the rebel camp go once slogans met structure and ground reality ? Has the rebel experiment failed to hold together once tested on the ground ?
