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 AAP came to power promising a new era of transparency, dialogue and respect for youth aspirations. Yet today, unemployed teachers demanding recruitment are being arrested, sent to judicial custody and facing criminal charges after protesting against Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains. This raises a bigger question: Has Bhagwant Mann's Government begun treating unemployed youth as a law-and-order problem instead of a governance priority ? Can the Government that once rose on the strength of protests now justify using police action against those demanding jobs it had promised ?
आम आदमी पार्टी पारदर्शिता, संवाद और युवाओं की आकांक्षाओं का सम्मान करने का वादा करके सत्ता में आई थी। लेकिन आज भर्ती की मांग कर रहे बेरोजगार शिक्षकों को गिरफ्तार किया जा रहा है, न्यायिक हिरासत में भेजा जा रहा है और शिक्षा मंत्री हरजोत सिंह बैंस के खिलाफ प्रदर्शन करने पर उनके खिलाफ आपराधिक मामले दर्ज किए जा रहे हैं। ऐसे में बड़ा सवाल यह है: क्या भगवंत मान सरकार ने बेरोजगार युवाओं को शासन की प्राथमिकता मानने के बजाय कानून-व्यवस्था की समस्या समझना शुरू कर दिया है ? जो सरकार कभी आंदोलनों की ताकत के दम पर सत्ता तक पहुँची, क्या वही अब नौकरी मांगने वाले युवाओं पर पुलिस कार्रवाई को उचित ठहरा सकती है ?
The AAP came to power in Punjab promising better schools, hospitals, jobs and corruption-free governance, not religious symbolism. Yet, as the 2027 elections approach, the party has announced a ₹150-Crores Luv-Kush Temple in Amritsar while increasingly projecting Hindu outreach alongside its governance agenda. This raises a bigger question: Is the AAP broadening its appeal by embracing every community, or quietly adopting the very brand of identity politics it once claimed to oppose ? Has governance taken a back seat to electoral calculations, or is this simply smart politics in a changing Punjab ?
