After the zila parishad results in Sultanpur Lodhi, Independent MLA Rana Inder Pratap Singh has claimed the victory of two independent candidates as evidence of his personal political influence. At a time when the Congress is grappling with internal uncertainty and future ticket distribution, how should this assertion be interpreted in the context of whether Congress might consider offering him a ticket ahead of the 2027 elections ?
सुल्तानपुर लोधी में ज़िला परिषद चुनावों के बाद, निर्दलीय विधायक राणा इंदर प्रताप सिंह ने दो निर्दलीय उम्मीदवारों की जीत को अपनी व्यक्तिगत राजनीतिक ताकत का प्रमाण बताया है। ऐसे समय में जब कांग्रेस आंतरिक असमंजस और 2027 के लिए टिकट वितरण को लेकर अनिश्चितता से जूझ रही है, इस दावे को इस संदर्भ में कैसे देखा जाना चाहिए कि क्या कांग्रेस उन्हें आगामी विधानसभा चुनावों में टिकट दे सकती है ?
Once a Congress face rooted in agrarian Punjab, Sunil Jakhar moved to the BJP promising Punjab a stronger voice in Delhi. But as MGNREGA is diluted, job cards are deleted, and Centre–state cost sharing shifts the burden to states, rural Punjab is beginning to feel squeezed. Can Jakhar convincingly defend Delhi’s rural policy choices in a state where wage work has often been the last safety net and where villages are worried less about 2047 and more about next month’s work ?
