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?
With the 2027 Assembly elections approaching, Punjab Congress is facing a fresh fight over the “one family, one ticket” rule. Amarinder Singh Raja Warring says the rule should apply, while Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa has openly argued that candidates with the ability to win should get tickets, even if more than one member of a family is involved. The dispute has now turned into a larger question about winnability, fairness and internal democracy within Punjab Congress. Should Punjab Congress stick to a one-family ticket rule, or should winning potential be the only real test for a candidate ?
2027 के विधानसभा चुनाव करीब हैं और पंजाब कांग्रेस में “एक परिवार, एक टिकट” नियम को लेकर नया विवाद खड़ा हो गया है। अमरिंदर सिंह राजा वड़िंग का कहना है कि यह नियम लागू होना चाहिए, जबकि सुखजिंदर सिंह रंधावा ने खुलकर कहा है कि जो उम्मीदवार जीतने की क्षमता रखता है, उसे टिकट मिलना चाहिए, भले ही एक ही परिवार से एक से अधिक दावेदार हों। यह विवाद अब पंजाब कांग्रेस में जीतने की क्षमता, निष्पक्षता और आंतरिक लोकतंत्र पर बड़ा सवाल बन गया है। क्या पंजाब कांग्रेस को एक परिवार, एक टिकट के नियम पर कायम रहना चाहिए या उम्मीदवार के लिए जीतने की क्षमता ही सबसे बड़ी कसौटी होनी चाहिए ?
With the 2027 elections approaching, Punjab Congress appears caught in a public tug-of-war over leadership, tickets and political control. The Warring- Randhawa clash, the Channi camp’s push for greater influence and open attacks from senior leaders have made the party’s internal fault lines impossible to ignore. Instead of closing ranks, the leadership seems to be washing its dirty linen in public, with factional battles overshadowing the larger fight and accelerating the party’s political erosion. Who is contributing the most to the erosion of Punjab Congress today ?
