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.
With the Jalalabad Municipal Council elections, the constituency is once again becoming a major political battleground. Once considered Sukhbir Singh Badal's strongest fortress, Jalalabad stunned Punjab politics in 2022 when he lost the seat. Now, with Manish Sisodia personally overseeing AAP's campaign and stressing booth-level strategy, the question is: Has Jalalabad permanently moved beyond the Akali Dal, or can Sukhbir Badal still reclaim the constituency that once defined his political strength ? If AAP dominates again, will it confirm that the Akali Dal has lost its grip on one of its most iconic strongholds ?
जलालाबाद नगर परिषद चुनावों के साथ यह सीट एक बार फिर पंजाब की राजनीति का बड़ा रणक्षेत्र बन गई है। कभी सुखबीर सिंह बादल के सबसे मज़बूत गढ़ माने जाने वाले जलालाबाद ने 2022 में उनके चुनाव हारने के बाद सबको चौंका दिया था। अब मनीष सिसोदिया खुद 'आप' का चुनाव अभियान संभाल रहे हैं और बूथ स्तर की रणनीति पर ज़ोर दे रहे हैं। सवाल यह है: क्या जलालाबाद अब शिरोमणि अकाली दल से आगे बढ़ चुका है, या सुखबीर बादल अपनी कभी पहचान रही इस सीट पर फिर से पकड़ बना पाएंगे ? अगर 'आप' यहां फिर दबदबा बनाती है, तो क्या यह इस बात का संकेत होगा कि अकाली दल की सबसे मज़बूत राजनीतिक पकड़ अब पहले जैसी नहीं रही ?
Manjinder Singh Sirsa has challenged the Punjab Government to apply its own anti-sacrilege law to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, arguing that the principle of equality before the law cannot change depending on who is accused. The question is: Has the AAP Government created a political trap for itself ? If it believes the law should be applied strictly in cases involving religious sentiments, can it now afford to be seen applying different standards when the controversy involves its own Chief Minister ? And as Punjab watches this debate unfold, is the real issue the video itself, or whether governments are willing to live by the same rules they expect others to follow ?
