Every year, 7.25 lakh Indians risk their lives by taking illegal 'Donkey Routes' to migrate abroad. With estimated 50,000 people missing and this dangerous journeys comes across as 4,600 km.

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?
As the BJP deploys national heavyweights, election strategists and senior organisers across Punjab ahead of 2027, a curious question hangs over one of its most high-profile political couples, Captain Amarinder Singh and Preneet Kaur. Once among Punjab's most influential political figures, both are now in the BJP, yet their role in the party's aggressive Punjab push remains surprisingly unclear. The question is: Are Captain and Preneet Kaur still part of the BJP's Punjab strategy, or have they become VIP spectators at a campaign being run by everyone except them ? As leaders from other states arrive to shape the BJP's future in Punjab, have Patiala's most famous political couple become the party's biggest political souvenirs ?
2027 से पहले पंजाब में भाजपा अपने राष्ट्रीय दिग्गजों, चुनावी रणनीतिकारों और वरिष्ठ नेताओं को लगातार सक्रिय कर रही है। लेकिन इसी बीच पार्टी के सबसे चर्चित राजनीतिक दंपतियों में से एक, कैप्टन अमरिंदर सिंह और प्रनीत कौर, को लेकर एक दिलचस्प सवाल खड़ा होता है। कभी पंजाब की राजनीति के सबसे प्रभावशाली चेहरों में गिने जाने वाले ये दोनों नेता अब भाजपा में हैं, लेकिन पंजाब में पार्टी के आक्रामक अभियान में उनकी भूमिका अब भी स्पष्ट नहीं है। सवाल यह है: क्या कैप्टन और प्रनीत कौर अभी भी भाजपा की पंजाब रणनीति का हिस्सा हैं, या फिर वे एक ऐसे अभियान के वी.आई.पी. दर्शक बनकर रह गए हैं जिसे बाकी सभी चला रहे हैं ? जब दूसरे राज्यों से नेता पंजाब में भाजपा का भविष्य गढ़ने आ रहे हैं, तो क्या पटियाला का यह चर्चित राजनीतिक दंपति पार्टी की सबसे महंगी राजनीतिक यादगार बनकर रह गया है ?
The BJP is reportedly considering deploying some of its most experienced leaders, including Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Bhupender Yadav, Vinod Tawde and Sunil Bansal, to focus on Punjab ahead of 2027. For a party that has historically struggled to establish itself as a dominant force in the state, the scale of attention now being given to Punjab raises a bigger question: Has Punjab become one of the BJP's most important political missions, or is the party overestimating how quickly even its most powerful leaders can overcome Punjab's unique political realities ? As some of the BJP's biggest organisational minds are linked to the Punjab project, is the party building the team for a historic breakthrough, or creating expectations that could be difficult to meet ?
