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?
Avinash Rai Khanna has been one of BJP’s longest-serving and most experienced faces from Punjab, rising from MLA in Garhshankar to MP from Hoshiarpur, Rajya Sabha member, state president, and later a national-level organisational leader. Unlike many headline politicians, his influence has often come more from strategy rooms and party structure than mass rallies. As Punjab moves toward 2027, the intriguing question is whether Avinash Rai Khanna still remains BJP’s quiet troubleshooter in the state, or whether a new generation of leaders is now taking over the space he once shaped. Is experience still his biggest strength, or is Punjab BJP entering a post-Khanna era ?
अविनाश राय खन्ना पंजाब से भाजपा के सबसे लंबे समय तक सक्रिय और अनुभवी चेहरों में रहे हैं। वह गढ़शंकर से विधायक बने, फिर होशियारपुर से सांसद, राज्यसभा सदस्य, प्रदेश अध्यक्ष और बाद में राष्ट्रीय स्तर के संगठनात्मक नेता बने। कई चर्चित नेताओं से अलग, उनका प्रभाव अक्सर मंचों से ज्यादा रणनीति कक्षों और संगठन के ढांचे में दिखा है। जैसे-जैसे पंजाब 2027 की ओर बढ़ रहा है, दिलचस्प सवाल यह है कि क्या अविनाश राय खन्ना अब भी भाजपा के शांत लेकिन असरदार संकटमोचक हैं, या नई पीढ़ी के नेता अब उनकी बनाई जगह संभाल रहे हैं ? क्या अनुभव अब भी उनकी सबसे बड़ी ताकत है, या पंजाब भाजपा खन्ना के बाद के दौर में प्रवेश कर रही है ?
Parampal Kaur Sidhu entered Punjab politics with quick visibility as an IAS-turned-politician and BJP’s 2024 Lok Sabha candidate from Bathinda against Harsimrat Kaur Badal. She is also linked to the political family of senior Punjab leader Sikander Singh Maluka, giving her added recognition in the Malwa belt. Though she did not win, the contest showed she is willing to fight high-profile battles. With administrative experience, public profile, and growing presence, she remains a name BJP could consider seriously for 2027. The big question now is whether BJP sees Parampal Kaur Sidhu as a strong face for Rampura Phul, or whether the constituency still needs a deeper local base before such a move. Can she turn profile into ground strength by 2027, or does constituency politics demand more than visibility alone ?
