The BJP often promotes its “double-engine government” model, claiming that having the same party in power at the Centre and in a state speeds up development. But Punjab has its own political identity, strong regional concerns and a history of strained Centre-state relations. Issues such as farmers’ demands, the role of the state in decision-making and the BJP’s limited regional base raise questions about whether this model can gain public trust in Punjab. Can the BJP’s double-engine formula work in Punjab or could its centralised approach become its biggest roadblock ?
भाजपा अक्सर अपने 'डबल इंजन सरकार' मॉडल को बढ़ावा देती है। उसका दावा है कि केंद्र और राज्य में एक ही पार्टी की सरकार होने से विकास तेज़ होता है। लेकिन पंजाब की अपनी अलग राजनीतिक पहचान, क्षेत्रीय चिंताएँ और केंद्र-राज्य के बीच तनाव का इतिहास रहा है। किसानों की माँगें, फैसले लेने में राज्य की भूमिका और पंजाब में भाजपा का सीमित जनाधार जैसे मुद्दे सवाल उठाते हैं कि क्या यह मॉडल जनता का भरोसा जीत पाएगा। क्या भाजपा का डबल इंजन मॉडल पंजाब में काम कर पाएगा या केंद्रित सत्ता का तरीका ही उसकी सबसे बड़ी बाधा बन सकता है ?
With the Shiromani Akali Dal–BJP alliance talks gaining attention, the Punjab Vigilance Bureau has referred an alleged ₹736.96-Crores money laundering case involving Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia to the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The state government has named Majithia as the alleged mastermind and primary beneficiary of a financial network involving companies, foreign entities and assets. Majithia has denied the allegations. Now, the focus shifts to the ED, which works under the BJP-led Central Government. Will the BJP-led Centre allow the ED to pursue the case against Majithia, even as it explores a possible political alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal ?
