Why do you think people still choose such risky routes over legal options? Is it desperation, or do they see it as a faster way to success?
After promising ₹1,000 per month to every adult woman before the 2022 elections, the Punjab government is now considering limiting the scheme, making it optional, and launching it only in the final phase of its term due to financial concerns. With the final decision resting with Arvind Kejriwal and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the political question is no longer just about welfare, but about timing, delivery and credibility. If the promise was universal and immediate in 2022, is the revised plan a realistic financial correction or a last-year election move to manage expectations while protecting the state’s strained finances ?
2022 के चुनावों से पहले हर वयस्क महिला को ₹1,000 प्रति माह देने का वादा करने के बाद, पंजाब सरकार अब वित्तीय दबाव के कारण इस योजना को सीमित करने, इसे वैकल्पिक बनाने और अपने कार्यकाल के अंतिम चरण में लागू करने पर विचार कर रही है। अंतिम निर्णय अरविंद केजरीवाल और मुख्यमंत्री भगवंत मान पर निर्भर है। अब राजनीतिक सवाल सिर्फ कल्याण का नहीं, बल्कि समय, क्रियान्वयन और विश्वसनीयता का भी है। यदि 2022 में यह वादा सार्वभौमिक और तुरंत लागू करने का था, तो क्या संशोधित योजना वित्तीय रूप से एक वास्तविक सुधार है या फिर राज्य की कमजोर वित्तीय स्थिति को देखते हुए उम्मीदों को संभालने के लिए अंतिम वर्ष का चुनावी कदम ?
With Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal calling Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann a “rubber stamp” and alleging that key decisions are being influenced from Delhi, the political debate is shifting to perception versus power ahead of 2027. As the Opposition questions the balance between state leadership and central command, the larger issue is about authority, accountability and public confidence. Is Bhagwant Mann functioning as an empowered Chief Minister or is the perception of Delhi-driven control becoming a serious political vulnerability for the AAP Government in Punjab ?
