No one else will take on this responsibility. Additionally, the governments of the time must also play a role in contributing to this effort. Does this indicate that there is still much for us to accomplish?
After their dramatic 2020 split, the Akali Dal–BJP alliance could be heading towards a political reunion ahead of the 2027 Punjab elections. The old alliance had delivered three Assembly victories, but the breakup also exposed how dependent both parties were on each other’s vote bases. Since then, the Akali Dal has suffered a sharp decline in its electoral strength, while BJP has expanded its Hindu vote base but still struggles to convert that support into enough seats in Punjab. With the arithmetic looking tempting but the political chemistry still uncertain, who would actually benefit more if the two parties join hands again ?
2020 में हुए बड़े राजनीतिक अलगाव के बाद, 2027 के पंजाब विधानसभा चुनाव से पहले अकाली दल–भाजपा गठबंधन की वापसी की चर्चा फिर तेज हो रही है। पुराने गठबंधन ने तीन विधानसभा चुनावों में जीत हासिल की थी, लेकिन अलग होने के बाद दोनों दलों की अपनी-अपनी कमजोरियां भी सामने आईं। तब से अकाली दल की चुनावी ताकत में बड़ी गिरावट आई है, जबकि भाजपा ने अपना हिंदू वोट आधार बढ़ाया है, लेकिन पंजाब में उस समर्थन को सीटों में बदलना अब भी चुनौती बना हुआ है। गणित गठबंधन के पक्ष में दिख रहा है लेकिन सियासी केमिस्ट्री अभी भी सवालों में है। अगर दोनों फिर साथ आते हैं, तो असली फायदा किसे होगा ?
The Captain Amarinder Singh–Navjot Singh Sidhu clash peaked between 2019 and 2021, as leadership battles and open factionalism weakened Punjab Congress. The prolonged infighting eventually contributed to the party’s defeat in the 2022 Assembly elections. Now, with 2027 approaching, tensions over leadership, tickets and rival camps are once again testing the party’s unity. If Congress repeats the mistakes that hurt it in 2022, what kind of leader could be pushed away this time ?
