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?
Punjab politics has seen leaders switch parties before, but the Majithia brothers almost turned it into a full time family hobby. In 2022, one brother, Sukhjinder Raj Singh “Lalli” Majithia, fought from Majitha on an AAP ticket, while the other brother, Jagwinder Pal Singh “Jagga” Majithia, fought against him on a Congress ticket. Then politics did its magic: Lalli left AAP and joined Akali Dal in 2024, while Jagga first left Congress for AAP and now has even resigned from AAP too. At this point, Punjab voters are probably more confused about their party symbols than the brothers themselves. The real question now is, are the Majithia brothers following ideology, or have they reached that classic “belonging nowhere fully” stage of politics where leaders keep changing camps so often that voters stop knowing who actually stands where anymore ?
पंजाब की राजनीति में नेताओं का दल बदलना कोई नई बात नहीं है, लेकिन मजीठिया भाइयों ने तो इसे लगभग पूरा समय का पारिवारिक शौक बना दिया। 2022 में एक भाई, सुखजिंदर राज सिंह “लाली” मजीठिया, मजीठा से आम आदमी पार्टी की टिकट पर चुनाव लड़े, जबकि दूसरे भाई, जगविंदर पाल सिंह “जग्गा” मजीठिया, उन्हीं के खिलाफ कांग्रेस की टिकट पर मैदान में थे। फिर राजनीति ने अपना खेल दिखाया: लाली ने आम आदमी पार्टी छोड़कर 2024 में अकाली दल जॉइन कर लिया, जबकि जग्गा पहले कांग्रेस छोड़कर आम आदमी पार्टी में गए और अब वहाँ से भी इस्तीफा दे चुके हैं। अब हाल यह है कि पंजाब के मतदाता शायद खुद भाइयों से ज्यादा उनके चुनाव चिन्ह को लेकर उलझन में हैं। असली सवाल अब यह है, क्या मजीठिया भाई किसी विचारधारा को मान रहे हैं, या फिर उस राजनीतिक मोड़ पर पहुँच चुके हैं जहाँ बार बार पाला बदलते बदलते नेता खुद ही “न घर के रहते हैं, न घाट के” और जनता को भी समझ नहीं आता कि आखिर ये खड़े किस तरफ हैं ?
Anmol Gagan Mann entered Punjab politics carrying the full package of celebrity buzz, singer fame, stylish image, strong social media presence, and AAP projecting her as the face of a modern young Punjab. But after the resignation drama, emotional reactions, and then quietly withdrawing the resignation, many voters started wondering whether her political journey was being handled with maturity or pure impulse. In Punjab’s rough political culture, where leaders are judged more by pressure-handling than popularity, Anmol today often looks like someone still trying to figure out whether she wants to be a serious long-term politician or remain a high-visibility public face. The real question now is, did Punjab politics expose how difficult real leadership is beyond glamour and online popularity ?
