With India accounting for over 98% of Nepal’s petroleum imports and over 60% of its total trade, why do diplomatic strains between the two nations continue to persist?

Is economic interdependence failing to translate into strategic trust?
Ravneet Singh Bittu's Rajya Sabha term has ended, he has not been re-nominated yet, and questions are now swirling about his political future. Once projected as one of the BJP's most important faces in Punjab and elevated to the Union Council of Ministers despite losing an election, Bittu now finds himself at an interesting crossroads. The question is: Does the BJP still see Ravneet Bittu as central to its Punjab strategy, or is his real test only beginning now ? As Punjab moves closer to 2027, will Bittu emerge as the BJP's leading Sikh face in the state, or will the party's next move reveal how much political weight he truly carries within its plans ?
रवनीत सिंह बिट्टू का राज्यसभा कार्यकाल समाप्त हो चुका है, उन्हें अभी तक दोबारा नामित नहीं किया गया है और अब उनके राजनीतिक भविष्य को लेकर सवाल उठने लगे हैं। एक समय भाजपा के पंजाब में सबसे महत्वपूर्ण चेहरों में गिने जाने वाले बिट्टू को चुनाव हारने के बावजूद केंद्रीय मंत्रिमंडल में जगह दी गई थी। लेकिन अब वे एक दिलचस्प मोड़ पर खड़े दिखाई देते हैं। सवाल यह है: क्या भाजपा आज भी रवनीत बिट्टू को पंजाब की अपनी रणनीति का केंद्रीय चेहरा मानती है, या उनकी असली परीक्षा अब शुरू हो रही है ? जैसे-जैसे 2027 नज़दीक आ रहा है, क्या बिट्टू भाजपा के सबसे प्रमुख सिख चेहरे के रूप में उभरेंगे, या फिर पार्टी का अगला कदम यह बताएगा कि उसके भीतर उनका वास्तविक राजनीतिक वजन कितना है ?
The BJP says it is preparing to contest all 117 seats in Punjab, yet its National President Nitin Nabin has reportedly instructed party leaders not to publicly discuss a possible alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal. That raises a fascinating political question: If the BJP is fully confident about fighting Punjab on its own, why does the alliance question refuse to disappear ? And if the alliance option is truly off the table, why does the party need to keep reminding its leaders not to talk about it ? As the BJP tries to project strength and independence, is it preparing Punjab for a solo mission, or keeping the alliance door quietly unlocked just in case ?
