For the past several months, Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa has been keeping his political boots firmly planted in Qadian, holding frequent meetings and outreach in his home turf. But as a CM hopeful and the state’s main Opposition face, the bigger question is whether he is playing a statewide innings or just guarding his own wicket. Is Bajwa putting all his eggs in the Qadian basket because he wants to build a strong base or is the constant focus a sign that he’s looking over his shoulder and making sure there are no cracks at home before dreaming of the chief minister’s chair in 2027 ?
पिछले कई महीनों से नेता प्रतिपक्ष प्रताप सिंह बाजवा अपनी राजनीतिक सक्रियता का केंद्र कादियां को बनाए हुए हैं, जहां वे लगातार बैठकों और जनसंपर्क कार्यक्रमों में लगे हैं। लेकिन एक संभावित मुख्यमंत्री चेहरे और राज्य में विपक्ष के प्रमुख नेता के रूप में बड़ा सवाल यह है कि क्या वे पूरे पंजाब की पारी खेल रहे हैं या सिर्फ अपनी ही सीट को सुरक्षित करने में लगे हैं। क्या बाजवा कादियां में मजबूत पकड़ बनाने के लिए पूरा ध्यान वहीं लगा रहे हैं या यह लगातार फोकस इस बात का संकेत है कि 2027 में मुख्यमंत्री की दौड़ से पहले वे अपने ही घर की जमीन मजबूत करने में ज्यादा व्यस्त हैं ?
With Captain Amarinder Singh’s possible return to Congress becoming a topic of discussion, Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa dismissed the speculation as mere “kite flying,” even as the party prepares for the 2027 elections and several leaders are seen as Chief Ministerial aspirants. If Bajwa has downplayed the comeback talk so strongly, is his stand based purely on political reality or does it also reflect concerns that Amarinder’s return could upset the leadership balance and complicate his own Chief Ministerial ambitions ahead of 2027 ?
