If Andhra Pradesh can give them ₹10,000 per month and gratuity, why can’t the Centre do the same?
As giant “Bengal Won, Punjab Next” posters appear outside BJP offices in Punjab after the party’s historic West Bengal victory, the slogan has sparked a sharp political war, with BJP projecting unstoppable momentum while Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann accuses the party of pushing divisive politics into the state. With aggressive messaging, rising political temperature, and 2027 already entering the conversation, are these posters the beginning of BJP’s biggest Punjab push yet, or just high-voltage political branding meant to dominate headlines and perception ?
पश्चिम बंगाल में ऐतिहासिक जीत के बाद पंजाब में भाजपा दफ्तरों के बाहर लगे “बंगाल जीत लिया, अब पंजाब की बारी” पोस्टरों ने सियासी माहौल गरमा दिया है। एक तरफ भाजपा खुद को अजेय ताकत के रूप में पेश कर रही है, वहीं मुख्यमंत्री भगवंत मान पार्टी पर पंजाब में “विभाजनकारी राजनीति” लाने का आरोप लगा रहे हैं। आक्रामक प्रचार, बढ़ती राजनीतिक गर्मी और 2027 चुनावों की चर्चा के बीच, क्या ये पोस्टर पंजाब में भाजपा के अब तक के सबसे बड़े मिशन की शुरुआत हैं, या फिर सिर्फ सुर्खियां और माहौल बनाने की हाई-वोल्टेज राजनीतिक ब्रांडिंग ?
After BJP’s massive push in Bengal and growing confidence at the national level, attention is now turning sharply toward Punjab. From talk of anti-conversion laws and outreach through deras to attempts at attracting Sikh faces and weakening rival parties, many believe BJP is preparing a completely different political strategy for Punjab ahead of 2027. But Punjab remains deeply shaped by the farmers’ movement, Sikh identity politics, and long-standing suspicion toward BJP among sections of voters. So the real question is, can Narendra Modi and Amit Shah truly crack Punjab with a new social and political formula, or will Punjab remain the one state where the party’s national rise hits a wall ?
