With the Supreme Court's recent directive for mandatory accessibility rules, can India overcome these barriers and ensure true inclusion for persons with disabilities?
Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa has emerged as one of the Congress party's most outspoken and combative leaders in Punjab, regularly taking on the AAP government over issues such as drugs, gangsterism and law and order. His supporters see him as a leader who speaks with clarity and conviction, while critics argue that visibility alone does not automatically translate into statewide political appeal. With Congress still searching for the right formula to return to power in 2027, an interesting question emerges: Has Randhawa established himself as one of the party's strongest assets in Punjab, or is his influence greater in political debates than in shaping an electoral revival ? As leadership discussions continue, is Randhawa becoming a solution to Congress's challenges, or another contender in its ongoing power struggle ?
सुखजिंदर सिंह रंधावा पंजाब कांग्रेस के सबसे मुखर और आक्रामक नेताओं में से एक बनकर उभरे हैं। नशे, गैंगस्टरवाद और कानून-व्यवस्था जैसे मुद्दों पर वे लगातार ‘आप’ सरकार को घेरते रहे हैं। उनके समर्थक उन्हें स्पष्ट सोच और बेबाक नेतृत्व वाला नेता मानते हैं, जबकि आलोचकों का कहना है कि सिर्फ़ सुर्खियों में बने रहना राज्यव्यापी जनसमर्थन की गारंटी नहीं होता। ऐसे में एक दिलचस्प सवाल उठता है: क्या रंधावा पंजाब कांग्रेस की सबसे बड़ी ताकतों में से एक बन चुके हैं, या उनका प्रभाव राजनीतिक बहसों में ज़्यादा और चुनावी पुनरुत्थान में कम दिखाई देता है ? नेतृत्व को लेकर जारी चर्चाओं के बीच, क्या रंधावा कांग्रेस की समस्याओं का समाधान बन रहे हैं या पार्टी के भीतर चल रही शक्ति की लड़ाई के एक और दावेदार ?
As Congress observers meet leaders like Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, Gurjeet Singh Aujla, Vijay Inder Singla, Rajinder Kaur Bhattal and other senior figures to chart the party's course for 2027, an interesting question emerges: Is Punjab Congress quietly building a stronger second line of leadership, or is it still too dependent on a handful of familiar faces ? With several experienced leaders seeking a larger role in the party's revival, can Congress turn its depth into an advantage, or will competing expectations once again complicate its path back to power ?
