In the current scorching heat, are you remembering the forests, trees, groves, and old orchards, Punjabis? When there’s an area of over 50,000 square kilometers and only about 2,400 square kilometers of forest, the temperature is bound to rise. When new colonies, highways, and forest mafias cut down trees recklessly, where were the leaders of society then? Where is the serious policy? Why wasn't any planning done in time?

The BJP has governed India from the Centre for more than a decade and now seeks to emerge as Punjab's principal political force. Yet the state continues to struggle with mounting debt, industrial stagnation, youth migration, agrarian distress and unemployment. This raises a larger question about the meaning of political power itself: If a party cannot convincingly demonstrate how its years at the Centre transformed Punjab, on what foundation does it seek a mandate to govern the state ? Should political ambition be judged by promises yet to be made, or by opportunities that have already passed ?
भारतीय जनता पार्टी एक दशक से अधिक समय से केंद्र की सत्ता में है और अब पंजाब में प्रमुख राजनीतिक ताकत बनने का दावा कर रही है। लेकिन पंजाब आज भी बढ़ते कर्ज़, उद्योगों की सुस्ती, युवाओं के पलायन, कृषि संकट और बेरोज़गारी जैसी गंभीर चुनौतियों से जूझ रहा है। ऐसे में राजनीतिक शक्ति के अर्थ पर एक बड़ा सवाल खड़ा होता है, यदि कोई पार्टी यह भरोसेमंद ढंग से नहीं बता सकती कि केंद्र में रहते हुए उसने पंजाब की दिशा कितनी बदली, तो वह राज्य की सत्ता किस आधार पर मांग रही है ? क्या राजनीतिक महत्वाकांक्षा का मूल्यांकन भविष्य के वादों से होना चाहिए या उन अवसरों से, जो सत्ता में रहते हुए पहले ही बीत चुके हैं ?
Since 2014, the BJP has repeatedly tried different political formulas to crack Punjab, fielding Arun Jaitley in 2014, Hardeep Singh Puri in 2019 and Taranjit Singh Sandhu in 2024 from Amritsar, inducting leaders such as Captain Amarinder Singh and Ravneet Singh Bittu from rival parties, and relying on repeated outreach by leaders from outside the state, including Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. Yet Punjab has continued to deny the party a major electoral breakthrough. As 2027 approaches, one uncomfortable question refuses to go away: Has the BJP mistaken political engineering for political acceptance ? Is the party trying to manufacture a mandate instead of earning one ?
