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.

Seema Kumari was once BJP’s strongest face in Bhoa, winning the seat in 2012 and building a solid presence. But after back-to-back defeats in 2017 and 2022, her influence has faded while BJP itself struggles to find relevance in Punjab. With new contenders emerging and the party searching for fresh ground, the big question now is, will BJP take the risk of fielding Seema Kumari again in 2027 or has the party quietly accepted that her winning phase ended with 2012 ?
सीमा कुमारी कभी भाजपा की सबसे मज़बूत उम्मीदवार मानी जाती थीं, जिन्होंने 2012 में भोआ सीट जीती और अच्छा जनाधार बनाया। लेकिन 2017 और 2022 की लगातार हारों के बाद उनका प्रभाव कमजोर पड़ गया है और खुद भाजपा भी पंजाब में ज़मीन तलाशने में संघर्ष कर रही है। नए दावेदार उभर रहे हैं और पार्टी बदलाव चाहती दिख रही है। ऐसे में बड़ा सवाल है, क्या भाजपा 2027 में सीमा कुमारी पर फिर से दांव लगाएगी या पार्टी मान चुकी है कि उनकी जीत का दौर 2012 में ही खत्म हो गया था ?
Ravikaran Singh Kahlon carries a heavyweight political surname, his father, Nirmal Singh Kahlon, was not just a two-time MLA from Dera Baba Nanak but also served as the Speaker of the Punjab Legislative Assembly. In 2022, Ravikaran rode this legacy well, finishing second with over 52,000 votes on the SAD symbol. But when he quit SAD and contested the 2024 bypoll on a BJP ticket, he crashed to third place with only 6,509 votes. Did Ravikaran Singh Kahlon just realise that it wasn’t his personal popularity but the SAD symbol and his father’s legacy that powered his 2022 vote bank, and without them, his support collapsed almost instantly ? Will 2027 push him out of the main race altogether ?
