With over 2,000 APMC markets in Punjab and 70% of its population dependent on agriculture, should we question if the Centre’s push for privatisation overlooks the effectiveness of the existing Mandi system in ensuring fair prices? Can reforms that favour corporate interests truly serve farmer's needs?

As Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini spends increasing time campaigning and building the BJP's prospects in Punjab, a sharp question is beginning to surface: Has Saini become more focused on expanding the BJP's footprint in Punjab than fixing the problems that still confront Haryana ? After all, Haryana elected him to govern Haryana, not to serve as the BJP's chief campaigner in a neighbouring state. With unemployment, farmer concerns and governance challenges continuing to dominate discussions back home, is Saini strengthening his national political profile, or risking the impression that Punjab's politics now interests him more than Haryana's problems ?
हरियाणा के मुख्यमंत्री नायब सिंह सैनी पंजाब में भाजपा के विस्तार और चुनावी गतिविधियों में लगातार सक्रिय दिखाई दे रहे हैं। ऐसे में एक तीखा सवाल उठने लगा है: क्या सैनी अब हरियाणा की समस्याओं को सुलझाने से ज्यादा पंजाब में भाजपा की राजनीतिक जमीन मजबूत करने पर ध्यान दे रहे हैं ? आखिर हरियाणा की जनता ने उन्हें हरियाणा चलाने के लिए चुना था, किसी पड़ोसी राज्य में भाजपा के मुख्य प्रचारक बनने के लिए नहीं। बेरोजगारी, किसानों की चिंताएँ और शासन से जुड़े कई मुद्दे अभी भी हरियाणा में चर्चा के केंद्र में हैं। ऐसे में क्या सैनी अपनी राष्ट्रीय राजनीतिक पहचान मजबूत कर रहे हैं, या यह धारणा बनने का जोखिम उठा रहे हैं कि अब उन्हें हरियाणा से ज्यादा पंजाब की राजनीति में दिलचस्पी है ?
As Punjab's political parties begin positioning themselves for the 2027 Assembly elections, one pattern remains remarkably unchanged: the continued dominance of Jat Sikh leadership at the top. Whether it is Bhagwant Mann leading the AAP Government, Sukhbir Singh Badal attempting an Akali revival, Partap Singh Bajwa and Raja Warring shaping Congress politics, or the BJP turning to Kewal Singh Dhillon, the state's biggest parties continue to place Jat Sikh faces at the centre of their electoral strategy. The question is: Despite years of discussion about social rebalancing and broader representation, has Punjab's political class quietly concluded that the road to power in 2027 still runs through Jat Sikh leadership ? Or are parties underestimating a changing electorate that may be looking beyond traditional political formulas ?
