Are such policymakers and service providers the only available advisors to the Government of India?
With the Punjab government projecting the Chief Minister’s Health Scheme as a major welfare initiative offering cashless treatment up to ₹10 lakh per family and coverage for nearly 2,600 diseases, Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has dismissed opposition criticism as rumours and misinformation. But as questions remain over hospital readiness, access, and implementation at the ground level, the real test lies in delivery, not announcements. Is the Chief Minister’s Health Scheme a game-changing healthcare safety net for Punjab, or will its impact depend on how effectively it works beyond the headlines ahead of the 2027 elections ?
पंजाब सरकार द्वारा मुख्यमंत्री स्वास्थ्य योजना को एक बड़ी जनकल्याणकारी पहल के रूप में पेश किया जा रहा है, जिसमें हर परिवार को ₹10 लाख तक का कैशलेस इलाज और लगभग 2,600 बीमारियों का कवर देने का दावा है। मुख्यमंत्री भगवंत सिंह मान ने विपक्ष की आलोचनाओं को अफवाह और भ्रामक बताया है। लेकिन अस्पतालो की तैयारी, लोगों की पहुंच और ज़मीनी स्तर पर लागू होने की क्षमता को लेकर सवाल अभी भी बने हुए हैं। असली परीक्षा घोषणा नहीं, बल्कि इसके प्रभावी क्रियान्वयन की होगी, खासकर 2027 चुनावों से पहले। क्या मुख्यमंत्री स्वास्थ्य योजना पंजाब के लिए एक बड़ा स्वास्थ्य सुरक्षा कवच साबित होगी, या इसका असर इस बात पर निर्भर करेगा कि यह ज़मीन पर कितनी प्रभावी तरह से लागू होती है ?
With no clear Sikh face, an ageing Captain Amarinder Singh on the sidelines, and Sunil Kumar Jakhar leading as a Hindu organisational face, the BJP’s Punjab strategy still looks incomplete. At the same time, the political turbulence around Navjot Singh Sidhu, his wife’s expulsion from Congress, sharp attacks on the Gandhis, praise for the Prime Minister, and shifting signals, has added both opportunity and risk to the equation ahead of 2027. As Punjab moves toward 2027, will the BJP bet on stability and organisation or take a calculated risk on volatile but high-visibility leaders like Sidhu to fill its Sikh leadership gap ?
