Isn't this a matter of concern amidst the ongoing super wave of record development in the country?
Malwa has long been known as the region that decides who rules Punjab. It has backed Congress, Shiromani Akali Dal and AAP at different times, often sweeping one party to power and then abandoning it just a few years later. With 69 of Punjab's 117 Assembly seats, every major party is once again pouring resources, surveys, rallies and promises into the region ahead of 2027. But after repeatedly making and unmaking governments, is Malwa now becoming the toughest voter to impress in Punjab politics ? And for leaders like Bhagwant Mann, Raja Warring, Sukhbir Singh Badal and Kewal Singh Dhillon, does the road to Chandigarh still begin in Malwa, or end there if voters decide it is time for another political reset ?
मालवा को लंबे समय से पंजाब की सत्ता का निर्णायक क्षेत्र माना जाता है। कभी इसने कांग्रेस को मजबूत समर्थन दिया, कभी शिरोमणि अकाली दल को और फिर आम आदमी पार्टी को ऐतिहासिक जीत दिलाई। लेकिन दिलचस्प बात यह है कि मालवा ने जिस पार्टी को सत्ता तक पहुंचाया, कुछ वर्षों बाद उसी को कड़ा राजनीतिक संदेश भी दिया। 117 में से 69 विधानसभा सीटों वाले इस क्षेत्र में 2027 को लेकर सभी दल पूरी ताकत झोंक रहे हैं। ऐसे में सवाल यह है कि सरकारें बनाने और गिराने का इतिहास रखने वाला मालवा क्या अब पंजाब का सबसे मुश्किल मतदाता बन चुका है ? और भगवंत मान, राजा वड़िंग, सुखबीर सिंह बादल और केवल सिंह ढिल्लों जैसे नेताओं के लिए क्या चंडीगढ़ का रास्ता आज भी मालवा से होकर जाता है, या फिर यहीं आकर उनकी राजनीतिक उम्मीदों की असली परीक्षा होती है ?
Gurmeet Singh Khuddian is widely seen as one of AAP's strongest rural leaders, but recent events have raised fresh questions about his growing influence. Soon after reports of his disagreement over ticket distribution, his nephew Randhir Singh Dhira Khuddian was appointed Chairperson of CONWARE Punjab, with several senior leaders present at the ceremony. Coincidence, recognition, or a reminder of Khuddian's political weight within the party ? And in a party that promotes collective leadership, has Gurmeet Singh Khuddian quietly become one of the figures AAP can least afford to ignore ?
