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?
Determined not to repeat the leadership turmoil of 2021, the Congress high command has chosen continuity over change in Punjab by retaining Amarinder Singh Raja Warring as PPCC President and Partap Singh Bajwa as Leader of the Legislature Party, while accommodating Charanjit Singh Channi and other senior leaders through key committees. Yet with multiple power centres, competing Chief Ministerial aspirations and factional balancing still intact, one deeper question remains: Is the Congress preserving stability, or merely postponing another leadership crisis ? Can a party truly avoid conflict by balancing ambitions instead of resolving them ?
2021 जैसी नेतृत्व संबंधी उथल-पुथल दोहराने से बचने के लिए कांग्रेस हाईकमान ने पंजाब में बदलाव की बजाय निरंतरता का रास्ता चुना है। अमरिंदर सिंह राजा वड़िंग को प्रदेश कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष और प्रताप सिंह बाजवा को विधायक दल का नेता बनाए रखा गया है, जबकि चरणजीत सिंह चन्नी सहित अन्य वरिष्ठ नेताओं को विभिन्न महत्वपूर्ण समितियों में जिम्मेदारियाँ देकर संतुलन साधने की कोशिश की गई है। लेकिन कई शक्ति केंद्र, मुख्यमंत्री पद की कई दावेदारियाँ और गुटबाज़ी आज भी बरकरार हैं। ऐसे में एक गहरा सवाल उठता है: क्या कांग्रेस वास्तव में स्थिरता कायम कर रही है, या सिर्फ एक और नेतृत्व संकट को टाल रही है ? क्या केवल महत्वाकांक्षाओं का संतुलन बनाकर किसी पार्टी में स्थायी एकता लाई जा सकती है, या वास्तविक समाधान के बिना टकराव केवल टलता है ?
Nearly five years after Captain Amarinder Singh's unceremonious exit from the Punjab Congress, the party is once again struggling to settle on a clear leadership structure ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. The leadership transition that sidelined Captain Amarinder Singh and elevated Charanjit Singh Channi and Navjot Singh Sidhu continues to cast a long shadow over the party. With delayed decisions, competing power centres and no clear face to unite the organisation, one uncomfortable question refuses to disappear: Is the Punjab Congress finally beginning to realise how much it misses Captain Amarinder Singh ? Did the party lose the one leader who could hold both the organisation and its support base together ?
