Punjab Congress Chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring says the AAP will not even touch double digits in the 2027 Assembly elections. But his prediction has triggered an obvious political counter-question before counting AAP's seats, should Congress first count its own ? After years of factional battles, leadership tussles and electoral disappointments, Congress leaders sound increasingly confident about a comeback. Yet confidence and votes are rarely the same thing. As Raja Warring predicts a collapse of the ruling party, are Punjabis witnessing the confidence of a party ready to return to power, or the optimism of a party still trying to recover its lost ground ?
पंजाब कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष अमरिंदर सिंह राजा वड़िंग का दावा है कि 2027 के विधानसभा चुनावों में आम आदमी पार्टी दोहरे अंक तक भी नहीं पहुंच पाएगी। लेकिन उनके इस दावे ने एक दिलचस्प राजनीतिक सवाल खड़ा कर दिया है 'आप' की सीटें गिनने से पहले क्या कांग्रेस को अपनी सीटों का हिसाब नहीं लगा लेना चाहिए ? वर्षों से गुटबाज़ी, नेतृत्व संघर्ष और चुनावी निराशाओं से जूझ रही कांग्रेस अब वापसी को लेकर काफी आत्मविश्वास दिखा रही है। लेकिन आत्मविश्वास और जनादेश हमेशा एक जैसी चीज़ नहीं होते। ऐसे में जब राजा वड़िंग सत्ताधारी पार्टी के पतन की भविष्यवाणी कर रहे हैं, तो क्या पंजाब के लोग सत्ता में लौटने को तैयार पार्टी की आवाज़ सुन रहे हैं, या फिर ऐसी पार्टी का उत्साह जो अभी भी अपनी खोई हुई ज़मीन तलाश रही है ?
Partap Singh Bajwa has long been regarded as one of Punjab Congress's most influential leaders. But after Congress's disappointing performance in the Qadian municipal elections, a pointed question is being asked has "Qadian-e-Azam" run into a reality check in his own political backyard ? If a leader struggles to deliver convincing results on his home turf, how strong is the claim that he can lead Congress's comeback across Punjab ? As the race for 2027 gathers pace, is this merely a local setback or a warning sign for bigger political ambitions ?
