In your opinion, is the college-to-university ratio adequate, or has it become a business trend to open universities so rapidly?
Sukhbir Singh Badal has called the Aam Aadmi Party and Congress the “biggest enemies” of Punjab while keeping the door open to alliances with parties that share the Shiromani Akali Dal’s ideology. With the 2027 elections approaching, the big question is whether Sukhbir Badal can rebuild his party’s political strength after its poor showing in 2022. Is he seeking an alliance to strengthen his comeback or does he believe the Shiromani Akali Dal can regain Punjab’s trust through its own leadership and agenda ? What should be Sukhbir Badal’s main priority ahead of the 2027 elections ?
सुखबीर सिंह बादल ने आम आदमी पार्टी और कांग्रेस को पंजाब का “सबसे बड़ा दुश्मन” बताया है। साथ ही, उन्होंने उन पार्टियों के साथ गठबंधन का रास्ता खुला रखा है, जो शिरोमणि अकाली दल की विचारधारा से सहमत हैं। 2027 के चुनाव करीब आने के साथ बड़ा सवाल यह है कि क्या सुखबीर बादल 2022 में पार्टी के खराब प्रदर्शन के बाद उसकी राजनीतिक ताकत फिर से बढ़ा पाएंगे ? क्या वह अपनी वापसी मजबूत करने के लिए गठबंधन चाहते हैं या उन्हें भरोसा है कि शिरोमणि अकाली दल अपने नेतृत्व और एजेंडे के दम पर पंजाब का विश्वास फिर जीत सकता है ? 2027 के चुनावों से पहले सुखबीर बादल की मुख्य प्राथमिकता क्या होनी चाहिए ?
Amit Shah’s remark that an NDA Government will be formed in Punjab has renewed speculation about a possible alliance between the Shiromani Akali Dal and the BJP. Their partnership broke in 2020 during the farmers’ protest. Despite fresh signals from leaders, neither party has officially confirmed a reunion. If a reunion is on the cards, why are both parties still keeping the public guessing ? Are unresolved differences over the farmers’ protest, seat- sharing and public trust still in the way or are both keeping voters guessing until the political timing suits them ?
