When it comes to Digital India, the fastest mobile internet speeds in the world are in the UAE at 179 Mbps, Qatar at 160 Mbps, and South Korea at 138 Mbps. However, according to World Bank data, India does not appear among the top 10 countries.

Do you think that despite the Digital India campaign, India needs to make more efforts to improve its internet speed?
Dinesh Dhall spent years in Congress organisation politics before switching to the Aam Aadmi Party ahead of the 2022 elections, where he was fielded from Jalandhar North but finished third. Despite that setback, he continues as Halka Incharge of Jalandhar North, a sign that the party still sees political value in him. In Punjab politics, leaders are rarely kept in key constituency roles without future calculations, especially after a defeat. Now the question is whether Dinesh Dhall’s move from Congress to the Aam Aadmi Party was the start of a long-term project that could lead to another ticket in 2027, or whether his current role is only to hold the ground until a stronger candidate is chosen. Is Jalandhar North still being built around him, or is he keeping the seat warm for someone else ?
दिनेश ढल्ल, कांग्रेस संगठन की राजनीति में कई साल बिताने के बाद 2022 चुनाव से पहले आम आदमी पार्टी में शामिल हुए, जहां उन्हें जालंधर उत्तर से उम्मीदवार बनाया गया, लेकिन वह तीसरे स्थान पर रहे। इस झटके के बावजूद वह अब भी जालंधर उत्तर के हलका इंचार्ज हैं, जो दिखाता है कि पार्टी अब भी उनमें राजनीतिक महत्व देखती है। पंजाब की राजनीति में हार के बाद भी नेताओं को अहम हलकों में यूँ ही नहीं रखा जाता, इसके पीछे भविष्य की सोच होती है। अब सवाल यह है कि क्या दिनेश ढल्ल का कांग्रेस से आम आदमी पार्टी में जाना एक लंबी राजनीतिक योजना की शुरुआत थी, जो 2027 में फिर टिकट तक ले जा सकती है, या उनकी मौजूदा भूमिका सिर्फ सीट संभालने तक सीमित है जब तक कोई मजबूत चेहरा नहीं चुना जाता। क्या जालंधर उत्तर अब भी उनके आसपास तैयार हो रहा है, या वह सिर्फ किसी और के लिए जगह संभाल रहे हैं ?
Joginder Singh Mann has been one of the most experienced political faces of Phagwara, winning the constituency three times on a Congress ticket and serving as minister under multiple Punjab Chief Ministers. His long career gave him the image of a seasoned local heavyweight, and few leaders can claim such sustained relevance across different political eras. However, his defeat in the 2022 Assembly election showed that past stature alone may no longer guarantee victory in Punjab’s fast-changing politics. The real question now is whether Joginder Singh Mann still has enough ground strength and goodwill left for one more comeback, or if Phagwara has moved into a new era where old veterans carry less weight than before. Can a three-time MLA turn experience into one final revival, or has the constituency already started writing a post-Mann political chapter ?
