How can India mitigate risks of losing traditional markets to other basmati-producing countries, and what role does farmer consultation play in these export policies? Share your opinion...
The BJP is taking its anti-drug campaign across Punjab, with its leaders proposing rehabilitation, employment and awareness alongside action against drug networks. The party has also announced a wider strategy and roadmap for tackling the crisis. But the political question is bigger than another campaign or yatra: If BJP wants to make drugs a major 2027 issue, how will it answer questions about its own role at the Centre, its past political alliances in Punjab, and what concrete steps it would take beyond campaigning ?
भाजपा पंजाब में नशे के खिलाफ अपने अभियान को पूरे राज्य में ले जा रही है। उसके नेता नशे के नेटवर्क पर कार्रवाई के साथ पुनर्वास, रोजगार और जागरूकता पर भी जोर दे रहे हैं। पार्टी ने इस संकट से निपटने के लिए व्यापक रणनीति और रोडमैप की भी घोषणा की है। लेकिन राजनीतिक सवाल सिर्फ एक और अभियान या यात्रा से बड़ा है: अगर भाजपा 2027 में नशे को बड़ा चुनावी मुद्दा बनाना चाहती है, तो वह केंद्र में अपनी भूमिका, पंजाब में अपने पुराने राजनीतिक गठबंधनों और चुनावी अभियान से आगे उठाए जाने वाले ठोस कदमों पर क्या जवाब देगी ?
Punjab has seen several prominent leaders move across political camps. Jagmeet Singh Brar, Sunil Kumar Jakhar, Captain Amarinder Singh and Ravneet Singh Bittu have each taken different political paths involving party switches. Captain Amarinder Singh has now said that after four years in the BJP, he had “gained nothing” and had not been consulted on Punjab-related matters. He has also said he does not plan to return to Congress. So, when leaders repeatedly change political homes, does it expand their political options or make voters question the journey they left behind ?
