Did you know, Women in India with equal qualifications are still earning 23% less than men— Maybe the economy thinks 'equal pay' is a luxury only for developed countries. India’s still waiting for its turn!
As 2027 Punjab elections slowly come into focus, Sukhbir Singh Badal’s recent rally in Amloh has sparked fresh discussion about strategy and leadership choices within the Shiromani Akali Dal. One name that stands out again is Gurpreet Singh Raju Khanna, who has been fielded by the party in both 2017 and 2022 but could not secure a win. Despite past results, Sukhbir Badal appears to be continuing his trust in him, hinting that he may once again be the face for 2027. At a time when the party is trying to rebuild and regain lost ground, does repeating the same candidate reflect strong loyalty and long-term strategy, or does it raise questions about adaptability and learning from past electoral setbacks ?
जैसे-जैसे 2027 के पंजाब चुनाव नज़दीक आ रहे हैं, सुखबीर सिंह बादल की अमलोह में हालिया रैली ने शिरोमणि अकाली दल की रणनीति और नेतृत्व के फैसलों पर नई चर्चा शुरू कर दी है। एक बार फिर गुरप्रीत सिंह राजू खन्ना का नाम सामने आ रहा है, जिन्हें पार्टी ने 2017 और 2022 दोनों चुनावों में उम्मीदवार बनाया था, लेकिन वे जीत दर्ज नहीं कर पाए। पिछले नतीजों के बावजूद, सुखबीर बादल का उन पर भरोसा जारी दिखता है और संकेत मिल रहे हैं कि 2027 में भी वही उम्मीदवार हो सकते हैं। ऐसे समय में जब पार्टी खुद को दोबारा खड़ा करने और खोया आधार वापस पाने की कोशिश कर रही है, क्या एक ही उम्मीदवार को दोहराना मजबूत भरोसे और लंबी रणनीति का संकेत है, या फिर यह पिछले चुनावी सबक से न सीखने का इशारा करता है ?
Shiromani Akali Dal declaring another candidate, Mantar Singh Brar, from Kotkapura highlights a clear strategy to rely on an experienced and well- established leader with a long electoral track record and deep local roots. From his first win in 1997 to multiple victories and key organisational roles within the party, Brar has remained a consistent presence in the constituency and continues to enjoy backing from Sukhbir Singh Badal. With an early announcement and visible support, the party appears to be setting the tone for the contest well in advance. In a seat where personal credibility, past performance, and voter connect often play a decisive role, does this move put Mantar Singh Brar in a strong position to win from Kotkapura, or will changing political trends and voter expectations make the battle more challenging ?
