Has the Administration shown some great seriousness to tide over this crisis situation?
As the 2027 Punjab elections approach, SAD (Punar Surjit) is waiting for a response from the BJP on a possible alliance. While the faction seeks to unite Panthic forces, several leaders have left or shifted their support to ‘Waris Punjab De’. Meanwhile, the BJP says it is preparing to contest all 117 seats on its own. The delay leaves the faction facing uncertainty over its election strategy. Is SAD (Punar Surjit) waiting for a BJP alliance to strengthen its political position, or is the BJP’s silence exposing how little room the faction has to plan its own political future ?
2027 के पंजाब विधानसभा चुनाव नज़दीक आते ही शिरोमणि अकाली दल (पुनर सुरजीत) भाजपा के साथ संभावित गठबंधन पर जवाब का इंतज़ार कर रहा है। यह गुट पंथक ताकतों को एकजुट करना चाहता है लेकिन इसके कई नेता पार्टी छोड़ चुके हैं या ‘वारिस पंजाब दे’ के साथ जा चुके हैं। वहीं, भाजपा सभी 117 सीटों पर अकेले चुनाव लड़ने की तैयारी कर रही है। क्या शिरोमणि अकाली दल (पुनर सुरजीत) भाजपा के साथ गठबंधन की उम्मीद में अपनी चुनावी रणनीति रोककर बैठा है, जबकि भाजपा की चुप्पी और पार्टी से नेताओं का जाना उसके राजनीतिक भविष्य पर सवाल खड़े कर रहे हैं ?
The Shiromani Akali Dal, led by Sukhbir Singh Badal, has launched its door-to-door campaign from Khadoor Sahib, the constituency represented by Amritpal Singh in the Lok Sabha. With the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections approaching, the choice of this constituency raises questions about the party’s political strategy in the Majha region and its approach to Amritpal’s growing political presence. Why has Sukhbir Singh Badal chosen Amritpal Singh’s home constituency to launch the SAD’s door-to-door campaign ? Is this simply grassroots outreach or does the choice carry a wider political message about who seeks to shape Punjab’s Panthic politics ahead of 2027 ?
