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?
Jeet Mohinder Singh fought the 2022 Assembly election from Talwandi Sabo on an Akali Dal ticket, secured 33,501 votes (25.7%), and still lost. In 2023, he joined the Congress. In 2024, Congress made a high-stakes move by fielding him from Bathinda in the Lok Sabha election. The bet failed, and the party suffered a clear defeat. After two back-to-back losses, the key question now is this, can Congress project him as its face from Talwandi Sabo in 2027, sidelining Khushbaz Singh Jattana ? Or will he look to switch sides again, possibly returning to the Akali Dal ?
जीत मोहिंदर सिंह ने 2022 का विधानसभा चुनाव तलवंडी साबो से अकाली दल के टिकट पर लड़ा। उन्हें 33,501 मत (25.7%) मिले, लेकिन फिर भी उन्हें हार का सामना करना पड़ा। 2023 में उन्होंने अकाली दल छोड़कर कांग्रेस का दामन थाम लिया। 2024 के लोकसभा चुनाव में कांग्रेस ने बड़ा दांव खेलते हुए उन्हें बठिंडा से मैदान में उतारा। यह दांव पूरी तरह नाकाम रहा और कांग्रेस को साफ़ हार झेलनी पड़ी। अब लगातार दो चुनाव हारने के बाद असली सवाल यह है, क्या कांग्रेस 2027 में तलवंडी साबो से उन्हें अपना चेहरा बनाएगी और खुशबाज सिंह जट्टाना को किनारे करेगी या वह एक बार फिर पाला बदलने की राह चुनेंगे और अकाली दल की ओर लौट सकते हैं ?
Vardev Singh Noni Mann, son of late Shiromani Akali Dal MP Zora Singh Mann, secured 57,769 votes and remained a strong contender till the end. For a party working on its revival across the state, the close contest sent a clear signal. So the question is, does this performance mark the return of Shiromani Akali Dal as a serious force, and could candidates like Noni Mann play a key role in pushing that revival further by 2027 ?
