In Kishtwar, where Hydropower Projects are generating 6,000 MW, the people are still struggling for electricity.

How does the Government’s decision to criminalise peaceful protests for such basic rights reflect on the larger issue of justice and fairness for the people?
Barjinder Singh Makhan Brar’s politics lately feels less like ideology and more like a nonstop game of political musical chairs. From leaving Shiromani Akali Dal with strong statements to briefly joining SAD (Punar Surjit) and then quickly returning back under Sukhbir Badal, Makhan Brar has once again reminded Punjab that survival politics often moves faster than principles. Despite staying visible in Moga and enjoying important posts in the past, his repeated election defeats have kept raising questions about whether his political relevance on the ground is actually as strong as his constant movement between camps. The real question now is, did Makhan Brar genuinely realise his future still lies with the Akali Dal, or did the fear of political isolation force him into a rapid comeback before 2027 politics fully reshapes Punjab again ?
बरजिंदर सिंह मक्खन बराड़ की राजनीति अब विचारधारा से ज्यादा एक लगातार चलने वाली “पॉलिटिकल म्यूजिकल चेयर्स” जैसी लगने लगी है। शिरोमणि अकाली दल छोड़ने, फिर अकाली दल (पुनर सुरजीत) में जाने और कुछ ही समय बाद सुखबीर बादल के नेतृत्व वाले अकाली दल में वापसी करने के बाद मक्खन बराड़ ने एक बार फिर दिखा दिया कि पंजाब की राजनीति में कई बार सिद्धांतों से ज्यादा “सर्वाइवल” तेज चलता है। मोगा में लगातार सक्रिय रहने और पहले अहम पदों पर रहने के बावजूद उनकी लगातार चुनावी हार यह सवाल उठाती रही है कि क्या उनकी जमीनी पकड़ वास्तव में उतनी मजबूत है जितनी उनकी राजनीतिक हलचल। अब असली सवाल यह है, क्या मक्खन बराड़ को सच में लगा कि उनका भविष्य अब भी अकाली दल में ही है, या फिर राजनीतिक अलगाव के डर ने उन्हें 2027 से पहले जल्दी वापसी करने पर मजबूर कर दिया ?
Parambans Singh Bunty Romana has become one of Shiromani Akali Dal’s loudest attack faces, always ready with aggressive statements, political counterattacks, and nonstop media appearances. From protests and FIR controversies to regularly taking on the AAP government and defending the Akali line, Romana often looks less like a traditional constituency leader and more like SAD’s full time political warrior on television and social media. But after consecutive election defeats from Faridkot, many people still question whether his aggressive visibility is creating real voter connection or just permanent debate panel energy. Recent clashes with the administration and fresh controversies have only strengthened his “always in fight mode” image. Is Bunty Romana a serious future Akali face or just Punjab politics’ permanent fighter without electoral success ?
