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?
With Sukhbir Singh Badal taking the front foot through direct public interaction, clear promises and projecting himself as the face of leadership, the contrast with Congress, where campaign visibility often revolves around visiting in-charges and unclear chief ministerial leadership, is becoming a talking point in Punjab’s political discourse ahead of 2027. In a state where voters increasingly look for a clear leader they can see, hear and hold accountable, the bigger question is about visibility versus structure. Is Sukhbir Singh Badal’s direct, face-driven campaign giving the Akali Dal an early leadership advantage or does Congress risk losing ground by going into the 2027 battle without a clear Chief Ministerial face and relying on organisational managers instead of mass connect ?
2027 के विधानसभा चुनावों से पहले पंजाब की राजनीति में एक दिलचस्प अंतर दिखाई दे रहा है। एक ओर सुखबीर सिंह बादल लगातार जनसभाओं, सीधे संवाद और बड़े वादों के साथ खुद को स्पष्ट नेतृत्व चेहरे के रूप में पेश कर रहे हैं। दूसरी ओर कांग्रेस का अभियान अधिकतर प्रभारी दौरों और सामूहिक नेतृत्व पर केंद्रित दिख रहा है, जबकि मुख्यमंत्री चेहरे को लेकर अब भी स्पष्टता नहीं है। ऐसे समय में जब मतदाता ऐसे नेता को देखना और परखना चाहते हैं, जो सामने आकर जवाबदेह हो, बड़ा सवाल नेतृत्व की दृश्यता बनाम संगठनात्मक ढांचे का है। क्या सुखबीर सिंह बादल की सीधी और चेहरा-आधारित राजनीति अकाली दल को शुरुआती बढ़त दे रही है या बिना स्पष्ट मुख्यमंत्री चेहरे के कांग्रेस 2027 की दौड़ में जमीन खोने का जोखिम उठा रही है ?
As Shiromani Akali Dal leader Daljit Singh Cheema raises questions over the alleged use of public funds and state machinery for political projection, the debate is now turning toward the effectiveness of the Opposition in Punjab. At a time when the Congress holds the position of the principal Opposition and Partap Singh Bajwa is the Leader of Opposition, it is the Akali Dal that appears to be taking the most visible and aggressive stand on accountability issues. If Shiromani Akali Dal is the one consistently flagging concerns over governance, public spending and institutional neutrality, is the party today playing the role of the real Opposition in Punjab, while the principal opposition remains politically subdued ?
