The flood of off-season vegetables and fruits in the market is a direct and clear indication that these vegetables are being grown using excessive amounts of growth regulators, pesticides, and fungicides, which are very harmful to health.

Neither the enforcement agencies are paying attention to this, nor are buyers thinking about from where these off-season crops are coming?
BJP has repeatedly said it plans to contest all 117 Punjab Assembly seats on its own strength in 2027. The party is also working to strengthen its booth-level organisation. But fighting 117 seats is easy to announce. Finding 117 candidates with real local strength is the harder test. BJP says it is ready for all 117. But does it have 117 candidates who can actually fight all 117 battles ?
भाजपा ने बार-बार कहा है कि वह 2027 में पंजाब विधानसभा की सभी 117 सीटों पर अपने दम पर चुनाव लड़ेगी। पार्टी बूथ स्तर पर अपना संगठन भी मजबूत कर रही है। लेकिन 117 सीटों पर चुनाव लड़ने का ऐलान करना आसान है। असली परीक्षा 117 ऐसे उम्मीदवार ढूँढने की है, जिनकी अपने क्षेत्र में मजबूत पकड़ हो। भाजपा कहती है कि वह सभी 117 सीटों के लिए तैयार है। लेकिन क्या उसके पास 117 ऐसे उम्मीदवार हैं, जो इन 117 मुकाबलों में गंभीर चुनौती दे सकें ?
Why does the BJP maintain such tight control over what its Punjab leaders say publicly, when Punjab’s elections have often seen major decisions and campaign strategy shaped by leaders from outside the state ? From central leadership to outside state in-charges, much of the political direction is set beyond Punjab, while local leaders often have limited space to question decisions or present their own views. Does this centralised approach help BJP maintain one clear line or is it leaving Punjab leaders too little room to build an independent political voice ?
