Have we ever thought about the long struggle and financial resources invested in building this marketing network, only to see discussions about dismantling these to favor a few?
BJP has brought several experienced Punjab leaders into its fold but their visibility on major Punjab issues appears to have declined. With the party preparing for a solo 117-seat battle in 2027, questions remain over how much space its Punjab leaders have to shape the party’s narrative. Why do leaders like Jagmeet Brar, Captain Amarinder Singh, Sunil Jakhar and Ravneet Singh Bittu appear quieter on Punjab issues, is the narrative now being controlled from the top ?
भाजपा ने पंजाब के कई अनुभवी नेताओं को अपने साथ जोड़ा है लेकिन पंजाब के बड़े मुद्दों पर उनकी सक्रियता और सार्वजनिक मौजूदगी कम होती दिख रही है। 2027 में पार्टी सभी 117 सीटों पर अकेले चुनाव लड़ने की तैयारी कर रही है। ऐसे में सवाल है कि पंजाब के नेताओं को पार्टी का राजनीतिक रुख तय करने में कितनी जगह मिल रही है। जगमीत बराड़, कैप्टन अमरिंदर सिंह, सुनील जाखड़ और रवनीत सिंह बिट्टू जैसे नेता पंजाब के मुद्दों पर शांत क्यों नजर आ रहे हैं, क्या पार्टी का नैरेटिव ऊपर से तय हो रहा है ?
Amit Shah has promised to make Punjab drug-free if the BJP forms the next State Government. Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa has challenged the BJP to name even one BJP-ruled state that is drug-free. He has also questioned the Centre’s role in stopping cross-border drug smuggling. The debate raises questions about the BJP’s record, its current role and whether the drug crisis is being turned into an election issue. Is the BJP offering a solution to Punjab’s drug crisis or using a public emergency to seek votes while its own record remains under scrutiny ?
