In March-April, out of the DAP fertilizer shipment sent to Punjab by the Indian government, 60% of the samples failed. Of the 40 samples taken by the agriculture department, 24 failed, and only 16 passed the standard quality.

Was any action taken, or has inaction emboldened others, resulting in current black-marketing?
Pargat Singh has started meeting senior leaders, former ministers, legislators and young workers as he prepares to take charge of the Punjab Congress. His focus is on bringing different factions together, strengthening the grassroots network and projecting a united face ahead of 2027. But many of those meeting him were part of the group that had pushed for Raja Warring’s removal. Is Pargat Singh building a united Punjab Congress or simply trying to keep every faction happy before the real election battle begins ?
परगट सिंह ने वरिष्ठ नेताओं, पूर्व मंत्रियों, विधायकों और युवा कार्यकर्ताओं से मुलाकात शुरू कर दी है। वह पंजाब कांग्रेस की कमान संभालने की तैयारी कर रहे हैं। उनका ध्यान अलग-अलग गुटों को साथ लाने, जमीनी संगठन को मजबूत करने और 2027 से पहले पार्टी को एकजुट चेहरा देने पर है। लेकिन उनसे मिलने वाले कई नेता उसी गुट का हिस्सा रहे हैं, जिसने राजा वड़िंग को हटाने की मांग की थी। क्या परगट सिंह एकजुट पंजाब कांग्रेस बना रहे हैं या असली चुनावी लड़ाई शुरू होने से पहले हर गुट को खुश रखने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं ?
Pargat Singh’s elevation as Punjab Congress President has shifted the party’s internal power centre towards Doaba. Several influential Congress leaders from the region had already pushed for a change in leadership, while Pargat Singh can now expect strong support from Doaba leaders and cadres. With Doaba gaining the top organisational post after 16 years, is Pargat Singh’s elevation really about uniting Punjab Congress or has the party simply shifted its internal power battle from one region to another ?
