If Andhra Pradesh can give them ₹10,000 per month and gratuity, why can’t the Centre do the same?
The BJP is talking about forming its own Government in Punjab and has begun a much more aggressive push ahead of 2027. But unlike AAP, which has Bhagwant Mann as its chief face, and Congress and SAD, which have familiar Punjab leaders, the BJP’s state-level leadership remains less clearly identified with a single mass leader. Can the BJP convince Punjab that it is ready to govern when voters are still unsure who would actually lead the Government ?
भाजपा पंजाब में अपनी सरकार बनाने की बात कर रही है और 2027 से पहले राज्य में अपना अभियान भी तेज कर रही है। लेकिन 'आप' के पास भगवंत मान जैसा मुख्यमंत्री चेहरा है, जबकि कांग्रेस और शिरोमणि अकाली दल के पास भी पंजाब में पहचाने जाने वाले नेता हैं। इसके मुकाबले भाजपा के पास अभी ऐसा एक स्पष्ट जननेता नहीं दिखता, जिसे लोग मुख्यमंत्री के चेहरे के तौर पर देखें। क्या भाजपा पंजाब को यह भरोसा दिला पाएगी कि वह सरकार चलाने के लिए तैयार है, जब मतदाता अभी यह नहीं जानते कि उसका असली पंजाब चेहरा कौन होगा ?
The BJP has built a stronger vote base in Punjab, but its biggest challenge remains outside the cities.

With 2027 approaching, how would you rate the BJP’s chances of breaking into Punjab’s rural political space ?
