When will the establishment take these critical issues seriously? Canal irrigation has decreased from 16 lakh hectares in 1990-91 to about 11.5 lakh hectares today, yet endless discussions on water recharging and groundwater depletion continue.

Why aren't these issues getting prioritized given these alarming statistics?
The SAD’s 2022 alliance with the BSP was widely interpreted as a tactical move to survive politically rather than a genuine ideological partnership. With BJP ruling out any collaboration and 2027 approaching, analysts are asking: can SAD realistically contest on its own, rebuild its base, and regain influence in Punjab’s fractured electoral landscape, or will the absence of a strong ally leave it marginalized once again?
शिरोमणि अकाली दल का 2022 में बसपा के साथ गठबंधन अक्सर केवल राजनीतिक तौर पर बचने की रणनीति माना गया, न कि कोई वास्तविक वैचारिक साझेदारी। भाजपा ने किसी भी सहयोग को खारिज कर दिया है और 2027 नजदीक है। विश्लेषक पूछ रहे हैं: क्या अकाली दल वास्तव में अकेले चुनाव लड़ सकता है, अपनी आधारशिला फिर से मजबूत कर सकता है और पंजाब के टूटे हुए राजनीतिक परिदृश्य में फिर से प्रभाव बना सकता है या किसी मजबूत सहयोगी की अनुपस्थिति उसे फिर से हाशिए पर ले जाएगी?
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has tried repeatedly to win the Sujanpur Assembly Seat, which is part of the Gurdaspur, but success has eluded them. In 2017, the BJP’s Dinesh Singh won the seat, while SAD’s 2022 alliance with the Bahujan Samaj Party failed to make a mark. Their candidate, Raj Kumar Gupta Bittu, later switched to BJP, and in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, SAD’s Gurdaspur candidate, Daljit Singh Cheema, also lost.
