अकाली दल (वारिस पंजाब दे) ने जनवरी 2025 में पंजीकरण के लिए आवेदन किया था, लेकिन चुनाव आयोग ने अभी तक इस प्रक्रिया को पूरा नहीं किया है। अनुकूल सत्यापन रिपोर्ट के बावजूद, सार्वजनिक नोटिस जारी होना बाकी है। 2027 के चुनाव नज़दीक आने के साथ, यह लंबी अनिश्चितता पार्टी के राजनीतिक भविष्य और एकता पर दबाव डाल सकती है। यदि 'वारिस पंजाब' दे को 2027 के चुनावों से पहले पंजीकरण नहीं मिलता, तो क्या इसके नेता एकजुट रहेंगे या दूसरी राजनीतिक पार्टियों में शामिल हो जाएंगे ?
After ruling Punjab for a decade, the Shiromani Akali Dal is now down to just three Assembly seats. Sukhbir Singh Badal is bringing back senior leaders, reaching out to voters and exploring a renewed alliance with the BJP. Yet questions over the 2015 sacrilege incidents, farmers’ trust and rival Akali factions remain unresolved. With its traditional support base under pressure, the 2027 election could become a crucial test of the party’s political future. If Sukhbir Badal fails to revive the Shiromani Akali Dal in 2027, will it mark the end of the Badal family’s political dominance or create space for a new leadership in Panthic politics ?
