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
When political relationships and family ties overlap, gestures carry deeper meaning. With Sukhbir Singh Badal meeting his brother-in-law Bikram Singh Majithia in jail, the moment goes beyond party optics and reflects personal loyalty within Punjab’s most closely knit political families. In a time when many leaders create distance during controversy, this visit signals that for the Shiromani Akali Dal, standing by family and senior leadership is part of its political culture.
जब राजनीति और पारिवारिक रिश्ते एक साथ चलते हैं, तो इशारों के मायने और गहरे हो जाते हैं। जब सुखबीर सिंह बादल ने जेल में अपने साले बिक्रम सिंह मजीठिया से मुलाकात की, तो यह सिर्फ पार्टी औपचारिकता नहीं बल्कि निजी भरोसे और साथ का संदेश भी था।
When former Punjab Chief Minister Rajinder Kaur Bhattal spoke about being advised to “allow bomb blasts” for political gain, the remark quickly moved from a personal recollection to a political flashpoint. In a state that still carries the scars of violence, even a suggestion tied to that past can shake public trust and raise hard questions for the party she represents. As rivals demand answers and Congress leaders hesitate to speak, the controversy has shifted from one statement to a larger question of accountability and political ethics. Is this hesitation a sign of damage control or does it reflect a deeper discomfort in confronting parts of Punjab’s past that still haunt its politics ?
