2022 में आम आदमी पार्टी पंजाब की राजनीति और शासन में बड़े बदलाव के वादे के साथ सत्ता में आई थी। चार साल बाद पार्टी को रोजगार, नशा, किसानों, कानून-व्यवस्था, शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य और राज्य की आर्थिक स्थिति जैसे मुद्दों पर अपने रिकॉर्ड का बचाव करना पड़ रहा है। क्या वादों और आज जमीन पर दिख रही स्थिति के बीच का अंतर अब पार्टी के लिए राजनीतिक परेशानी बनता जा रहा है ?
