After BJP’s massive breakthrough in West Bengal, party leaders are now openly declaring that “Punjab is next.” While the BJP sees Bengal as proof that no regional stronghold is unbeatable anymore, AAP insists Punjab will never accept BJP’s politics, and Congress hopes anti-incumbency will revive its fortunes.

पश्चिम बंगाल में बड़ी जीत के बाद भाजपा नेता अब खुलकर कह रहे हैं कि “अब पंजाब की बारी है।” भाजपा इसे इस बात का संकेत मान रही है कि अब कोई भी क्षेत्रीय किला अजेय नहीं रहा, जबकि आम आदमी पार्टी का दावा है कि पंजाब कभी भाजपा की राजनीति को स्वीकार नहीं करेगा और कांग्रेस एंटी-इनकंबेंसी के सहारे वापसी की उम्मीद लगा रही है। भाजपा के आक्रामक विस्तार, संभावित राजनीतिक जोड़तोड़ और दल-बदल की चर्चाओं के बीच क्या पंजाब अब अपने सबसे बड़े राजनीतिक बदलाव की ओर बढ़ रहा है, या फिर भाजपा नेता बंगाल की जीत के जोश में ज़्यादा बह रहे हैं ?
