With 70-96 million Indians facing rare diseases and sky-high treatment costs, will a 10% customs duty cut really make a difference? And adding 10,000 medical seats.
Gurmeet Singh Khuddian’s political journey looks like a full Punjab power shift story, from Congress leader and District Congress Committee chief in Muktsar to joining AAP after feeling ignored, and then defeating Parkash Singh Badal in Lambi during the massive 2022 wave. That victory instantly made him the face of “badlav politics” inside the Badal family’s own fortress. But with Sukhbir Singh Badal now aggressively rebuilding SAD and treating Lambi like unfinished family business, pressure on Khuddian heading toward 2027 looks massive. The real debate now is whether Gurmeet Singh Khuddian can prove he is more than just a one wave wonder, or if Punjab politics will remember him mainly as the man who defeated a legend once but struggled to hold that moment afterward ?
गुरमीत सिंह खुड्डियां की राजनीतिक यात्रा पंजाब की पूरी सत्ता बदलने वाली कहानी जैसी लगती है। कांग्रेस नेता और मुक्तसर जिला कांग्रेस कमेटी प्रमुख से लेकर पार्टी में खुद को नजरअंदाज महसूस करने के बाद ‘आप’ में शामिल होना, और फिर 2022 की बड़ी ‘आप’ लहर में लंबी से प्रकाश सिंह बादल को हराना, इस जीत ने उन्हें अचानक बादल परिवार के गढ़ में “बदलाव राजनीति” का चेहरा बना दिया। लेकिन अब सुखबीर सिंह बादल जिस तरह अकाली दल को दोबारा खड़ा करने में जुटे हैं और लंबी को प्रतिष्ठा की लड़ाई बना चुके हैं, उससे 2027 की तरफ बढ़ते हुए खुड्डियां पर दबाव काफी बड़ा दिखाई देता है। अब असली बहस यह है कि क्या गुरमीत सिंह खुड्डियां खुद को सिर्फ “एक लहर वाले नेता” से ज्यादा साबित कर पाएंगे, या पंजाब की राजनीति उन्हें सिर्फ उस नेता के रूप में याद रखेगी जिसने एक बार एक बड़े दिग्गज को हराया, लेकिन उस पल को लंबे समय तक संभाल नहीं पाया ?
Punjab is already witnessing a comedy circus in politics, and Raja Warring now seems determined to make sure the opposition joins the same show. His latest bullock cart photoshoot with his wife looked less like serious protest politics and more like a desperate attempt to create viral “desi leader couple” content while Punjab struggles with debt, drugs, unemployment, and law and order issues. Instead of looking like a mature Leader of Opposition, Warring often appears trapped in his own eccentricities, dramatic reactions, and uncontrolled tongue. From bizarre optics to headline chasing statements, he gives the impression of a politician more addicted to attention than serious governance politics. Does Raja Warring genuinely inspire confidence as a future leader of Punjab, or has he reduced himself into Punjab politics’ latest full time viral performer ?
