In the last five years, the largest loss in history was recorded in the stock market in October 2024 to the tune of 37 lakh crore as per media reports. Before this, in March 2020, small investors lost around 33 lakh crore during the Corona period.
With the 2027 Punjab elections approaching, the Aam Aadmi Party, Bharatiya Janata Party and Shiromani Akali Dal have already stepped up rallies, yatras and voter outreach. Congress, meanwhile, has relied heavily on protests and individual programmes, with its sustained state wide campaign still to roll out. That raises the sharper question: Why does Congress keep reaching the campaign battlefield late and can the party ever learn from its past mistakes before another election is already underway ?
2027 के पंजाब विधानसभा चुनाव नजदीक आने के साथ आम आदमी पार्टी, भारतीय जनता पार्टी और शिरोमणि अकाली दल ने रैलियों, यात्राओं और मतदाता संपर्क को तेज कर दिया है। वहीं कांग्रेस अब तक बड़े पैमाने पर विरोध प्रदर्शनों और अलग-अलग कार्यक्रमों पर अधिक निर्भर रही है, जबकि उसका लगातार राज्यव्यापी अभियान अभी शुरू होना बाकी है। इससे बड़ा सवाल उठता है: कांग्रेस हर बार चुनावी मैदान में देर से क्यों उतरती है, और क्या वह एक और चुनाव शुरू होने से पहले अपनी पिछली गलतियों से सीख पाएगी ?
Punjab Congress has faced repeated internal battles over leadership, with factions around senior leaders clashing over roles and control. The Channi–Warring dispute, protests, boycotts and the change of Punjab in-charge from Bhupesh Baghel to Sachin Pilot have all highlighted how difficult unity has been. So the bigger question is: Has Punjab Congress spent so much energy fighting over leadership that its own internal egos have become a bigger challenge than its political opponents ?
