Rajasthan has issued a unique Rs 10 crore tender to run a 24x7 YouTube channel showcasing the government's good deeds. Is this the dawn of an era where mainstream media is increasingly state-controlled and dissent is countered through social media?

Ravneet Singh Bittu's continuation in the Union Cabinet despite the end of his Rajya Sabha term has sent a clear political message: the BJP is not ready to take its eyes off Punjab. Backed by the central leadership and increasingly projected as one of the party's key Sikh faces, Bittu appears to be carrying expectations that go far beyond his ministerial post. The question is: Is the BJP merely rewarding a loyal leader, or is it quietly preparing Ravneet Bittu to become the face of its Punjab strategy ahead of 2027 ? And if the party is betting this heavily on him, will Bittu emerge as the leader who finally expands the BJP's footprint in Punjab, or will he discover that national backing and ground-level acceptance are not always the same thing ?
राज्यसभा कार्यकाल समाप्त होने के बावजूद रवनीत सिंह बिट्टू का केंद्रीय मंत्रिमंडल में बने रहना एक स्पष्ट राजनीतिक संदेश देता है, भाजपा पंजाब से अपनी नज़रें हटाने के मूड में नहीं है। केंद्रीय नेतृत्व के समर्थन और पार्टी के प्रमुख सिख चेहरों में बढ़ती पहचान के साथ, बिट्टू अब केवल एक मंत्री नहीं बल्कि भाजपा की पंजाब रणनीति का अहम हिस्सा दिखाई देते हैं। सवाल यह है: क्या भाजपा सिर्फ एक वफादार नेता को पुरस्कृत कर रही है, या फिर वह चुपचाप रवनीत बिट्टू को 2027 से पहले पंजाब में अपना प्रमुख चेहरा बनाने की तैयारी कर रही है ? और यदि पार्टी उन पर इतना बड़ा दांव लगा रही है, तो क्या बिट्टू वह नेता साबित होंगे जो पंजाब में भाजपा का आधार बढ़ाएंगे, या फिर उन्हें यह एहसास होगा कि दिल्ली का समर्थन और ज़मीनी स्वीकार्यता हमेशा एक जैसी चीज़ें नहीं होतीं ?
As the debate over a possible BJP–Shiromani Akali Dal alliance continues, Captain Amarinder Singh remains one of the few BJP leaders who has openly favoured rebuilding the relationship. Having spent decades as the Akali Dal's principal political rival, Captain understands its leadership, political instincts and negotiating style better than most leaders in Punjab today. The question is: If the BJP is serious about exploring an alliance, should it entrust Captain Amarinder Singh with opening talks ? Could his experience and personal equations achieve what months of public speculation and mixed signals have not ? And if even Captain cannot help bridge the gap, would that suggest the alliance belongs more to Punjab's past than its future ?
