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?
Senior Akali leader Prem Singh Chandumajra, now with Akali Dal (Punar Surjit), carries the weight of past splits and reunifications within the Panthic space. Meanwhile, the Badal-led SAD continues under Sukhbir Singh Badal, with Bikram Singh Majithia, currently out on bail, actively calling for Akali unity. With signals of rapprochement but no formal roadmap yet, the push to reunite a fragmented Akali base is emerging as a key question before 2027. With Chandumajra in the rebel camp and Majithia advocating unity, are the Akali factions moving toward a real reunion or are the signals still ahead of political reality ?
वरिष्ठ अकाली नेता प्रेम सिंह चंदूमाजरा, जो इस समय अकाली दल (पुनर सुरजीत) के साथ हैं, पंथक राजनीति में पुराने विभाजनों और पुनर्मिलन का लंबा अनुभव रखते हैं। दूसरी ओर, शिरोमणि अकाली दल का नेतृत्व सुखबीर सिंह बादल के हाथ में है, जबकि बिक्रम सिंह मजीठिया, जो इस समय जमानत पर हैं, विभिन्न अकाली गुटों को एकजुट करने की खुलकर पैरवी कर रहे हैं। मेल- मिलाप के संकेत तो हैं, लेकिन कोई स्पष्ट रोडमैप नहीं। 2027 से पहले बिखरे अकाली आधार को एक करने की कोशिश अब बड़ा सवाल बनती जा रही है। चंदूमाजरा के विद्रोही खेमे में होने और मजीठिया द्वारा एकता की पहल के बीच, क्या अकाली गुट सच में एकजुट होने की ओर बढ़ रहे हैं या संकेत अभी भी राजनीतिक हकीकत से आगे हैं ?
After spending years with the Shiromani Akali Dal as a key face in Fatehgarh Sahib and later shifting to the BJP, where he even contested the 2022 Assembly election, Didar Singh Bhatti’s political move reflects a clear repositioning as the BJP works to build its independent base in Punjab ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. Is Didar Singh Bhatti’s shift from SAD to BJP a forward-looking political investment to secure relevance before the 2027 race intensifies or does the move reflect a larger trend of leaders switching platforms simply to stay in the game as Punjab’s traditional power centres weaken ?
