A.) Is India ready to become the global concert capital, or
B.) Will rising ticket prices, infrastructure gaps, and safety concerns hold it back?
As the AAP Government loudly celebrates “Sikhya Kranti” on one hand and promises ₹10-lakh health insurance under the Mukhyamantri Sehat Yojana on the other, government schools in Patiala are being asked to hand over their already-scarce computers for scheme enrolment, right before exams. When classrooms lose computers so health cards can be printed, the message gets confusing fast. Is AAP building a welfare state by quietly borrowing from education, turning Sikhya Kranti into a logistical casualty of headline-driven governance where one big promise undercuts another ?
एक तरफ "आप" सरकार “सिख्या क्रांति” (शिक्षा क्रांति) का जोर-शोर से प्रचार कर रही है, और दूसरी तरफ मुख्यमंत्री सेहत योजना के तहत ₹10 लाख के स्वास्थ्य बीमा का वादा कर रही है। लेकिन इसी बीच, पटियाला के सरकारी स्कूलों से, वह भी परीक्षाओं से ठीक पहले, योजना के नामांकन के लिए पहले से कम पड़े कंप्यूटर ले लिए जा रहे हैं। जब हेल्थ कार्ड छापने के लिए कक्षाओं से कंप्यूटर हटते हैं, तो संदेश खुद ही उलझ जाता है। क्या "आप" शिक्षा से उधार लेकर वेलफेयर स्टेट बना रही है, जहां एक बड़ी घोषणा दूसरी को कमजोर कर देती है और “सिख्या क्रांति” सिर्फ व्यवस्था की कमी की भेंट चढ़ जाती है ?
As the BJP rolls out its quiet ‘Mission Punjab’ by building proximity with powerful deras, PM Modi’s visit to Dera Ballan, the Padma Shri to Sant Niranjan Das, signals from Dera Sirsa, and growing questions over Dera Beas’s political “neutrality”, Punjab’s political landscape is once again in churn. With AAP visibly uneasy, the Akali Dal still bearing scars of past Dera politics, and Punjab’s intelligentsia uneasy with faith-driven mobilisation, the lines between spirituality and strategy are blurring fast. Is the BJP’s renewed courtship of deras a calculated electoral move to reshape Punjab’s voter base or a risky revival of Dera politics that has historically unsettled governments and parties alike ?
