Do you think there should be stronger safeguards to ensure that laws like UAPA and NSA are used responsibly, balancing national security with the protection of individual rights?
Punjab BJP's recent leadership changes are beginning to raise as many questions as answers. Days after Kewal Singh Dhillon's appointment as state chief sparked visible unease, senior leader and former IAS officer Jagmohan Singh Raju has stepped down as the party's general secretary. While Raju says he wants to focus on public causes, the timing has inevitably fuelled speculation. As BJP prepares for 2027, is the party busy expanding its base in Punjab, or accidentally expanding its list of disappointed leaders ?
पंजाब भाजपा में हालिया नेतृत्व बदलाव जितने जवाब दे रहे हैं, उससे कहीं अधिक सवाल खड़े करते दिखाई दे रहे हैं। केवल सिंह ढिल्लों की प्रदेश अध्यक्ष के रूप में नियुक्ति के बाद पैदा हुई हलचल के बीच, वरिष्ठ नेता और पूर्व आई.ए.एस. अधिकारी जगमोहन सिंह राजू ने भी महासचिव पद से इस्तीफा दे दिया है। हालांकि राजू का कहना है कि वह अब जनहित के मुद्दों पर ध्यान देना चाहते हैं, लेकिन इस्तीफे के समय ने राजनीतिक चर्चाओं को और तेज कर दिया है। 2027 की तैयारी में जुटी भाजपा क्या पंजाब में अपना जनाधार बढ़ा रही है, या फिर अनजाने में नाराज़ नेताओं की सूची लंबी करती जा रही है ?
The BJP may have found a new Punjab president in Kewal Singh Dhillon, but the bigger political puzzle remains unresolved. Over the past few years, the party has brought in several high-profile leaders from other parties, promoted new faces and experimented with different social equations, yet one question continues to hover over its 2027 ambitions who is the BJP's natural Chief Ministerial face in Punjab ? While Kewal Singh Dhillon's appointment may help strengthen the organisation, does it also highlight the party's continuing search for a leader who can inspire confidence across Punjab and lead the BJP into a direct contest for power ? And if a party still does not have a clear face for the top job, can it realistically convince voters that it is ready to govern the state rather than merely expand its footprint ?
