Did you know that, under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, agricultural land coverage insured across the country is 4,611 lakh hectares, but no one seems to know how much land is insured in Punjab?
In Budhlada, Budh Ram didn’t just ride the 2022 AAP wave, he reinforced his hold on the seat after already serving as MLA in 2017. With 88,282 votes (55.4%), he delivered a landslide and pushed all opponents far behind. But that also raises a sharper question going into 2027. Is Budh Ram’s dominance rooted in sustained personal connect and delivery on the ground or has his strength largely flowed from AAP’s broader appeal and weak opposition in the constituency ?
बुढलाडा में बुध राम ने सिर्फ 2022 की AAP लहर पर सवारी नहीं की, बल्कि 2017 में विधायक रहने के बाद अपनी पकड़ को और मज़बूत किया। 88,282 मत (55.4%) के साथ उन्होंने बड़ी जीत दर्ज की और सभी विरोधियों को काफी पीछे छोड़ दिया। लेकिन 2027 की ओर देखते हुए एक अहम सवाल उठता है, क्या बुध राम की यह मजबूती ज़मीन पर उनके काम और व्यक्तिगत जुड़ाव का नतीजा है या फिर यह ताकत ज़्यादातर AAP की लोकप्रियता और कमजोर विपक्ष से आई है ?
In Phillaur, Prem Kumar polled 34,478 votes (24.80%) in 2022, finishing a close third behind Congress and Akali Dal despite a strong AAP wave across Punjab. The party won the state, but here it failed to convert momentum into victory. So the real question heading into 2027 is, will AAP trust Prem Kumar again from Phillaur or does this result signal that the party will look for a stronger face to finally crack the seat ?
