The Government of India has admitted in Parliament that the demand for DAP fertilizer in Punjab during the Rabi season was around 4 lakh Metric Tons. However, only 3.6 lakh Metric Tons of DAP were supplied. This is a serious concern because the area under Wheat cultivation in Punjab was record-breaking this time.

Farmer unions in Punjab are now placing fresh demands before the BJP ahead of elections, marking a new phase of engagement, but this also brings back memories of the party’s earlier farm laws that had triggered massive protests and deep resentment across the state. With farmers forming a crucial vote base and long-standing issues like MSP, debt relief, and agricultural security still unresolved, the political stakes are significantly high. In such a scenario, where past decisions continue to shape public perception, can the BJP realistically rebuild trust among farmers through this renewed outreach, or does the shadow of earlier policies still weigh too heavily on its credibility ?
पंजाब में किसान यूनियनें चुनावों से पहले भाजपा के सामने अपनी नई मांगें रख रही हैं, जो राजनीतिक संवाद के एक नए चरण की ओर इशारा करती हैं, लेकिन इसके साथ ही पार्टी के उन पुराने कृषि कानूनों की याद भी ताज़ा हो जाती है, जिन्होंने पूरे राज्य में बड़े स्तर पर विरोध और नाराज़गी पैदा की थी। किसानों का एक बड़ा वोट बैंक होना और एम.एस.पी.(MSP), कर्ज़ राहत तथा कृषि सुरक्षा जैसे मुद्दों का अब भी अधूरा रहना, इस स्थिति को और गंभीर बनाता है। ऐसे में, जब पिछले फैसले आज भी जनधारणा को प्रभावित कर रहे हैं, क्या भाजपा इस नए संवाद के जरिए किसानों का भरोसा फिर से जीत पाएगी, या फिर पुरानी नीतियों की छाया अब भी उसकी विश्वसनीयता पर भारी पड़ेगी ?
With ₹1,118.47 Crores rail project pushed as development and connectivity, the narrative sounds ambitious on paper. Yet on the ground, around 400 farmers are protesting, over 192 hectares of land is set to be acquired, and even questions about the project’s viability have been raised during its own presentation. As leaders like Ravneet Singh Bittu back the move, the gap between announcement and acceptance is becoming hard to ignore. When a government pushes a project despite visible resistance and viability concerns, is this development driven by planning or by political optics that overlook ground realities ?
