Is this the price of development? Are bulldozers targeting the right issues?

Imagine if the government used the same bulldozers they sent to flatten people’s homes to clear out the mountain of “on-paper” schemes that never seem to make it to reality.
After Sunil Kumar Jakhar framed the BJP’s West Bengal victory as a “message” for Punjab and expressed confidence that the party can replicate its success in the state, even as leaders highlight law-and-order concerns and promise development ahead of the upcoming elections, does this assertive push signal a genuine political shift in Punjab’s mood, or is it an overconfident reading of a very different state’s mandate ?
सुनील कुमार जाखड़ द्वारा पश्चिम बंगाल में भाजपा की जीत को पंजाब के लिए “संदेश” बताना और राज्य में उसी सफलता को दोहराने का भरोसा जताना, साथ ही कानून-व्यवस्था और विकास के मुद्दों को उभारना, क्या यह आक्रामक रणनीति पंजाब की राजनीति में वास्तविक बदलाव का संकेत है, या फिर यह एक अलग राजनीतिक परिदृश्य को गलत तरीके से पढ़ने की अतिआत्मविश्वासी कोशिश है ?
With Ravneet Singh Bittu actively pushing the “takhta palat” narrative, linking it to governance issues and political change in Punjab, and increasingly positioning himself as one of the most visible faces of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the state, does this growing prominence signal that he could realistically be projected as the party’s Chief Minister face if BJP manages to gain unexpected ground in the 2027 elections, or does it still leave open deeper questions about whether the party has a clear, widely accepted, and state-wide leadership figure ready for that role ?
