As Shiromani Akali Dal begins its “Punjab Bachao – Sukhbir Badal Lyao” campaign from Qadian with 40 rallies across the state and a major show planned at Talwandi Sabo on Baisakhi, Sukhbir Singh Badal is trying to revive the party’s ground strength ahead of 2027. But with rebel Akali factions still outside the fold and ongoing buzz around a possible BJP understanding, the political question goes beyond mobilisation. Is Sukhbir Singh Badal’s outreach aimed at rebuilding an independent Akali base or at consolidating strength to manage rebel pressures and negotiate from a stronger position in any future BJP equation ?
शिरोमणि अकाली दल ने “पंजाब बचाओ – सुखबीर बादल लाओ” अभियान की शुरुआत कादियां से करते हुए पूरे राज्य में 40 रैलियों और बैसाखी पर तलवंडी साबो में बड़े शक्ति प्रदर्शन की योजना बनाई है। इसके साथ ही सुखबीर सिंह बादल 2027 से पहले पार्टी की जमीनी पकड़ मजबूत करने की कोशिश में हैं। लेकिन जब एक ओर अकाली दल के बागी गुट अभी भी अलग हैं और दूसरी ओर भाजपा के साथ संभावित समझौते की चर्चाएं जारी हैं, तो सवाल सिर्फ रैलियों से आगे का है। क्या यह अभियान अकाली दल को स्वतंत्र रूप से फिर से मजबूत करने की कोशिश है या बागियों के दबाव को संभालते हुए भविष्य में भाजपा के साथ किसी संभावित गठबंधन के लिए मजबूत सौदेबाजी की तैयारी ?
With Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh still detained under the NSA and unable to engage directly in active politics, the Panthic space in Punjab continues to remain fragmented among multiple Akali factions and emerging groups. Earlier, his father had spoken about the idea of forming a broader Panthic platform and indicated openness to bringing together old and new Akali groups under one umbrella. In a political landscape where the Akali vote is divided and unity remains a key missing factor, the central question now is about his potential role from behind the scenes. With Amritpal Singh in detention, can he still become a catalyst for Akali Dal unity and a larger Panthic consolidation in Punjab ?
