A.) Is India ready to become the global concert capital, or
B.) Will rising ticket prices, infrastructure gaps, and safety concerns hold it back?
After spending more time fighting itself than the ruling party, Punjab Congress is now talking about “reinvention”, leadership surveys, new faces, and even dreaming of 95 out of 117 seats in 2027. Factions are still pulling each other down, pressure groups are active, and the search for an “acceptable leader” continues years after losing power. With Raja Warring, Bajwa, Channi, and others still jostling, the party seems busy measuring popularity instead of building authority. Is Congress preparing to fight AAP in 2027 or is it still stuck fighting itself while pretending something will magically fix leadership chaos ?
सत्ता से बाहर होने के बाद से पंजाब कांग्रेस ने ज़्यादा समय अपनी ही लड़ाइयों में बिताया है। अब पार्टी “पुनर्गठन”, नेतृत्व सर्वे, नए चेहरे और 2027 में 117 में से 95 सीटें जीतने के सपने दिखा रही है। गुटबाज़ी अब भी जारी है, दबाव समूह सक्रिय हैं और इतने साल बाद भी पार्टी एक “सर्वमान्य नेता” ढूंढ रही है। राजा वड़िंग, प्रताप सिंह बाजवा, चरणजीत सिंह चन्नी जैसे नेता अपनी-अपनी दावेदारी में लगे हैं, लेकिन पार्टी ज़मीन पर मज़बूती बनाने की बजाय लोकप्रियता नापने में व्यस्त दिखती है। सवाल यह है कि कांग्रेस 2027 में आम आदमी पार्टी से लड़ने की तैयारी कर रही है या अब भी खुद से ही लड़ते हुए यह मान रही है कि सब अपने आप ठीक हो जाएगा ?
Fresh RTI details show Punjab MLAs claiming big travel and stay allowances while often using government vehicles as security escorts at the same time. Congress MLA Sukhwinder Singh tops the list with ₹15.17 Lakhs in TA/DA over three years, while AAP MLA Amit Rattan Kotfatta has claimed over ₹10 Lakhs. In sharp contrast, Congress MLA Rana Gurjeet Singh has refused to take any TA/DA at all. If official vehicles, fuel, and staff are already provided, why are private travel claims still being billed to the exchequer ? Is this just clever use of the rulebook or a quiet practice that normalises double spending while citizens are asked to tighten their belts ? And if some MLAs like Rana Gurjeet Singh can opt out completely, why can’t the rest ?
