With Shashi Tharoor skipping a key Congress meeting on Kerala’s 2026 election plans, the buzz around his future is growing. His uneasy equation with the party leadership, past proximity to BJP leaders, and public silence has only added fuel.
केरल के 2026 विधानसभा चुनाव की तैयारियों पर बुलाई गई अहम कांग्रेस बैठक से शशि थरूर की गैरमौजूदगी ने उनके राजनीतिक भविष्य को लेकर अटकलें तेज़ कर दी हैं। पार्टी नेतृत्व के साथ उनका असहज रिश्ता, पहले भाजपा नेताओं के साथ नज़दीकियाँ और अब सार्वजनिक चुप्पी, सब मिलकर सवाल खड़े कर रहे हैं।
Once a dominant force with a clearly defined 94–23 seat-sharing formula, the Akali Dal–BJP alliance shaped Punjab politics for two decades. Today, the relationship is marked by hesitation rather than harmony. While the BJP is no longer willing to play junior partner, the Akali Dal has shown signs of revival through recent local body election performances, reminding observers that it still commands a base beyond past setbacks. As Punjab moves toward 2027, will Akali Dal and BJP rebuild trust and enter a pre-poll alliance with renegotiated terms, or will both fight separately and keep the door open for a post-poll coalition driven by necessity rather than conviction ? Is the silence about alliance talks a tactical pause or a sign that unity will only come after the verdict ?
