Amid fresh speculation over a possible Shiromani Akali Dal–BJP alliance, Punjab BJP Vice-President Subhash Sharma has taken a sharp dig at the Badals, crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi with reducing the influence of “family-based parties”. The timing is interesting; the BJP is attacking the Badals while talk of the old alliance making a comeback continues. So, has the BJP really moved on from the Badals or is this just politics before a possible reunion ?
संभावित शिरोमणि अकाली दल–भाजपा गठबंधन को लेकर जारी अटकलों के बीच, पंजाब भाजपा के उपाध्यक्ष सुभाष शर्मा ने बादल परिवार पर तीखा निशाना साधते हुए प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी को “परिवार आधारित पार्टियों” के प्रभाव को कम करने का श्रेय दिया है। समय भी दिलचस्प है, भाजपा बादलों पर निशाना साध रही है, जबकि पुराने गठबंधन की वापसी की चर्चा भी जारी है। तो क्या भाजपा सच में बादल परिवार से आगे बढ़ चुकी है या यह किसी संभावित राजनीतिक पुनर्मिलन से पहले की रणनीति है ?

Her opposition to the Bhagwant Mann Government has also shaped her public political profile. Does Ganieve Kaur Majithia represent the strength of political legacy or an individual political identity of her own ?
