If 'purchasing power' is now defined by wishful thinking and empty pockets?
Review - DEKHO
Rural per capita expenditure is at Rs 4,122 and urban at Rs 6,996 – is this the Government’s idea of rural prosperity, or just a number that makes you question?
If 'purchasing power' is now defined by wishful thinking and empty pockets?
Parminder Singh Brar’s political journey already looks more crowded than many senior Punjab leaders, from Akali Dal to Congress and then finally landing in BJP, where he quickly rose as one of the party’s young organisational faces. Supporters call him ambitious, energetic, and politically smart, while critics joke that Brar changes political jerseys faster than some leaders change constituencies. Despite his rapid rise inside Punjab BJP, many people still wonder whether his influence is truly on the ground or mainly inside meeting rooms and organisational circles. The bigger debate is whether Parminder Singh Brar is genuinely emerging as BJP’s next young political face in Punjab, or if his fast track rise has made him look more like a party management success than a mass leader ?
परमिंदर सिंह बराड़ का राजनीतिक सफर पहले ही पंजाब के कई वरिष्ठ नेताओं से ज्यादा भीड़भाड़ वाला लगने लगा है, अकाली दल से कांग्रेस और फिर आखिरकार भाजपा तक पहुंचना, जहां वह तेजी से पार्टी के युवा संगठनात्मक चेहरों में शामिल हो गए। समर्थक उन्हें महत्वाकांक्षी, ऊर्जावान और राजनीतिक रूप से समझदार बताते हैं, जबकि आलोचक मज़ाक में कहते हैं कि बराड़ राजनीतिक जर्सियां उतनी तेजी से बदलते हैं जितनी तेजी से कुछ नेता विधानसभा सीटें बदलते हैं। पंजाब भाजपा में तेज़ उभार के बावजूद, कई लोग आज भी सोचते हैं कि उनका प्रभाव वास्तव में ज़मीन पर है या सिर्फ बैठकों और संगठनात्मक दायरों तक सीमित है। अब बड़ी बहस यह है कि क्या परमिंदर सिंह बराड़ सचमुच पंजाब भाजपा के अगले युवा राजनीतिक चेहरे के रूप में उभर रहे हैं, या फिर उनकी तेज़ तरक्की उन्हें ज़्यादा एक संगठनात्मक सफलता और कम जनाधार वाले नेता जैसा दिखाती है ?
Punjab BJP now looks fully focused on finding a strong Sikh state president before 2027, but the bigger suspense is something else entirely, will the party also dare to announce a clear Chief Minister face ? With names like Ravneet Singh Bittu, Manpreet Singh Badal, and other imported heavyweights floating around, Punjab BJP today often feels like a political waiting room where everyone looks important but nobody knows who the actual captain is supposed to be. BJP wants Punjab voters to see it as a serious alternative, but many people still feel the party enters every election with more confusion about leadership than clarity. The real question now is, can BJP fight Punjab in 2027 without clearly projecting a CM face, or will the party eventually be forced to choose one leader instead of running on endless “high command will decide” politics ?
