With Coldplay drawing over 2,23,000 fans across two nights in Ahmedabad and India’s live events market projected to grow from ₹88 billion in 2023 to ₹143 billion by 2026.

A.) Is India ready to become the global concert capital, or
B.) Will rising ticket prices, infrastructure gaps, and safety concerns hold it back?
At the Maghi Mela, Sukhbir Singh Badal chose a tone of return and repair rather than confrontation, rolling out a detailed vision for jobs, farmers, youth and law-and-order, while asking former leaders to come back “for Punjab’s sake.” By avoiding personal attacks on allies-in-waiting and focusing on long- term state issues like river waters, drugs and employment, is Sukhbir positioning himself as a steadier, more mature Panthic leader ? And could this mix of reconciliation, policy clarity and ground-level promises help the Akali Dal slowly rebuild trust ahead of 2027 ?
माघी मेले में सुखबीर सिंह बादल ने टकराव के बजाय वापसी और सुधार का रास्ता चुना। उन्होंने नौकरियों, किसानों, युवाओं और कानून-व्यवस्था पर एक साफ़ एजेंडा रखा और पुराने नेताओं से “पंजाब के लिए” लौटने की अपील की। संभावित सहयोगियों पर निजी हमलों से बचते हुए और नदियों के पानी, नशे और रोजगार जैसे दीर्घकालिक मुद्दों पर फोकस करके, क्या सुखबीर खुद को एक ज़्यादा स्थिर और परिपक्व पंथक नेता के रूप में पेश कर रहे हैं ? और क्या सुलह, नीतिगत स्पष्टता और ज़मीनी वादों का यह मिश्रण 2027 से पहले अकाली दल का भरोसा धीरे-धीरे वापस ला सकता है ?
With Nayab Singh Saini claiming BJP will form the next Punjab Government on its own, and Sunil Jakhar pushing visibility and outreach across the state, the party’s confidence is loud. First-time Maghi Mela events, cultural signalling, and attacks on AAP mark a clear shift. Is BJP genuinely expanding its base under Jakhar’s leadership or confusing visibility, symbolism and outside endorsements with real electoral depth ? And can the BJP truly go solo in a state where it has historically struggled without allies ?
