In our country, a Smart City mission was established to transform 100 cities into world-class cities, but its budget has been reduced from 8,000 crore Rupees to 2,400 crore Rupees
In 2022, the Aam Aadmi Party promised 300 free electricity units and made it a key part of its Punjab campaign. The scheme became one of its biggest welfare measures. Four years later, rising power demand, subsidy costs and Punjab’s growing debt are putting the model under pressure. With Punjab facing both a power crisis and rising debt, has AAP’s 2022 free-power promise become a difficult political liability for 2027 ?
2022 में आम आदमी पार्टी ने पंजाब के लिए 300 यूनिट मुफ्त बिजली का वादा किया और इसे अपने चुनावी अभियान का अहम हिस्सा बनाया। यह योजना उसकी सबसे बड़ी कल्याणकारी योजनाओं में शामिल हो गई। चार साल बाद बढ़ती बिजली की मांग, सब्सिडी का खर्च और पंजाब का बढ़ता कर्ज इस मॉडल पर दबाव डाल रहे हैं। पंजाब एक साथ बिजली संकट और बढ़ते कर्ज का सामना कर रहा है। ऐसे में क्या आम आदमी पार्टी का 2022 का मुफ्त बिजली वादा 2027 के लिए राजनीतिक बोझ बन गया है ?
Bhagwant Mann’s Government is presenting its crackdown on gangsters as a major law-and-order achievement, citing busted modules, arrests and overseas extraditions.

Can the party convince voters that its anti-gangster campaign is more than enforcement headlines when a figure linked to Punjab’s criminal-political ecosystem is also being given political space ?
