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?
Punjab Congress is reportedly using surveys to judge ticket aspirants on ground work, public connect and youth representation. With the “50-under-50” formula also in focus, established leaders could face a tougher test. Is Sachin Pilot forcing Punjab Congress’s old guard to prove their ground strength, instead of relying on seniority, influence and big political names ?
पंजाब कांग्रेस कथित तौर पर टिकट के दावेदारों को जमीनी काम, जनता से जुड़ाव और युवाओं की भागीदारी के आधार पर परख रही है। “50-अंडर-50” फॉर्मूला भी चर्चा में है, जिससे पुराने नेताओं के सामने नई चुनौती खड़ी हो सकती है। क्या सचिन पायलट पंजाब कांग्रेस के पुराने नेताओं को वरिष्ठता, प्रभाव और बड़े राजनीतिक नामों के बजाय अपनी जमीनी पकड़ साबित करने पर मजबूर कर रहे हैं ?
In 2022, Congress projected Charanjit Singh Channi as its CM face, hoping his Dalit identity and “common man” image would help the party retain Punjab. Congress won only 18 of 117 seats, while Channi lost both seats he contested. Now Channi is again emerging as a prominent Punjab Congress face, while the high command has said there will be no CM face for 2027. His renewed CM ambitions have also faced pushback, directly or indirectly, from sections of the party leadership. So did Congress miscalculate by making Channi its CM face in 2022 and is the 2027 no-CM-face strategy a signal that it does not want to repeat that gamble ?
