It is the need of the hour to inculcate the habit in youngsters of treating government property as property of one's own and that as a community asset. Rather than vandalizing every now and then, it should be protected at all costs!
As speculation grows over a possible leadership change in the Punjab Congress, an uncomfortable question is beginning to surface around Amarinder Singh Raja Warring. Despite his aggressive attacks on the AAP government and high visibility in the media, Congress has yet to translate that energy into a major political breakthrough in Punjab. The question is: If Congress decides to remove Raja Warring, would it be abandoning one of its most vocal fighters, or admitting that visibility and victory are not the same thing ? After years of protests, press conferences and political battles, has Warring strengthened Congress's electoral position, or simply become the party's most prominent opposition voice without delivering the revival many expected ?
पंजाब कांग्रेस में नेतृत्व परिवर्तन की अटकलों के बीच अब अमरिंदर सिंह राजा वड़िंग को लेकर एक असहज सवाल भी उठने लगा है। 'आप' सरकार पर उनके लगातार हमलों और मीडिया में उनकी मजबूत मौजूदगी के बावजूद, कांग्रेस अभी तक उस ऊर्जा को किसी बड़ी राजनीतिक सफलता में बदलती नहीं दिखी। सवाल यह है: यदि कांग्रेस राजा वड़िंग को हटाने का फैसला करती है, तो क्या वह अपने सबसे मुखर योद्धाओं में से एक को किनारे कर रही होगी, या यह स्वीकार कर रही होगी कि सुर्खियाँ और जीत एक ही चीज़ नहीं होतीं ? वर्षों के धरनों, प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंसों और राजनीतिक संघर्षों के बाद, क्या वड़िंग ने कांग्रेस की चुनावी स्थिति को वास्तव में मजबूत किया है, या वे सिर्फ पार्टी की सबसे प्रमुख विपक्षी आवाज़ बनकर रह गए हैं, बिना उस राजनीतिक पुनर्जीवन के जिसकी कई लोगों को उम्मीद थी ?
Manish Tewari has argued that replacing Captain Amarinder Singh in 2021 was a mistake and has suggested that Congress would have performed better had it stayed the course. At the same time, he says he was not consulted in the latest round of discussions on Punjab Congress restructuring. That raises an intriguing question: If leaders who accurately warned about the consequences of 2021 are now being left out of key consultations, is Congress listening to its most experienced voices, or repeating the very habits that contributed to its earlier setbacks ? As the party prepares another reset ahead of 2027, is it learning from history, or merely reorganising around it ?
