In last successive years, Punjab produced more than 13 million tons of wheat, contributing 30% to the nation's food reserves. However, this year only 9.6 million tons of wheat was contributed to the central food pool , yet the percentage increased to 51%. Does this mean wheat production has decreased across the country?

When will Governments pay attention to ensure that the buffer stock doesn't run out or that private parties don’t manipulate the situation, which the public may not fully understand?
Punjab Congress appears to be caught in a familiar cycle. Five years after the infighting between Captain Amarinder Singh and Navjot Singh Sidhu helped push the party towards one of its worst defeats, the Congress is once again debating leadership formulas, caste equations, regional balances and competing power centres. The question is: Has the party learned from the mistakes that cost it power in 2022, or is it quietly repeating the same script with different characters ? As 2027 approaches, is Congress building a winning alternative to the AAP, or spending so much time deciding who should lead that it risks forgetting how to win ?
पंजाब कांग्रेस एक बार फिर उसी पुराने राजनीतिक चक्र में फँसी हुई दिखाई दे रही है। कैप्टन अमरिंदर सिंह और नवजोत सिंह सिद्धू के बीच की खींचतान ने जिस तरह पार्टी को 2022 में उसकी सबसे बड़ी हारों में से एक की ओर धकेला था, पांच साल बाद कांग्रेस फिर नेतृत्व के फार्मूले, जातीय समीकरणों, क्षेत्रीय संतुलन और कई शक्ति केंद्रों के बीच उलझी नजर आ रही है। सवाल यह है: क्या कांग्रेस ने उन गलतियों से कोई सबक लिया है जिन्होंने उसे सत्ता से बाहर कर दिया था, या फिर वह नए चेहरों के साथ वही पुरानी कहानी दोहरा रही है ? 2027 के करीब आते हुए, क्या कांग्रेस ‘आप’ के खिलाफ एक मजबूत विकल्प तैयार कर रही है, या फिर नेतृत्व तय करने में इतनी व्यस्त है कि जीतने का रास्ता ही भूल रही है ?
Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa has emerged as one of the Congress party's most outspoken and combative leaders in Punjab, regularly taking on the AAP government over issues such as drugs, gangsterism and law and order. His supporters see him as a leader who speaks with clarity and conviction, while critics argue that visibility alone does not automatically translate into statewide political appeal. With Congress still searching for the right formula to return to power in 2027, an interesting question emerges: Has Randhawa established himself as one of the party's strongest assets in Punjab, or is his influence greater in political debates than in shaping an electoral revival ? As leadership discussions continue, is Randhawa becoming a solution to Congress's challenges, or another contender in its ongoing power struggle ?
