Is India finally tuning in to the idea of concerts as a cultural and economic powerhouse?
As Punjab moves toward the 2027 elections, Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema remains one of the Government’s key faces on finances, welfare spending, and policy defence. In a state where leadership choices can sometimes shift unexpectedly, much like Charanjit Singh Channi rose to the top post before the last election, the question is whether Cheema’s administrative role and leadership trust could translate into a larger political projection if the situation demands. But in an election-driven contest, does financial management alone build a Chief Ministerial profile or will 2027 require a stronger mass connect and statewide political recall ?
पंजाब के 2027 चुनावों की ओर बढ़ते हुए, वित्त मंत्री हरपाल सिंह चीमा सरकार के वित्त प्रबंधन, कल्याण योजनाओं और नीतिगत बचाव के प्रमुख चेहरों में से एक बने हुए हैं। पंजाब की राजनीति में नेतृत्व के फैसले कई बार अचानक बदलते रहे हैं, जैसे पिछले चुनाव से पहले चरणजीत सिंह चन्नी का अचानक मुख्यमंत्री बनना। ऐसे में सवाल यह है कि क्या चीमा की प्रशासनिक भूमिका और नेतृत्व का भरोसा भविष्य में उन्हें बड़े राजनीतिक चेहरे के रूप में आगे ला सकता है। लेकिन चुनावी राजनीति में क्या सिर्फ वित्तीय प्रबंधन ही मुख्यमंत्री की छवि बना सकता है या 2027 में मजबूत जनाधार और पूरे राज्य में पहचान ज्यादा अहम होगी ?
From a comedian’s stage to the Chief Minister’s chair, Bhagwant Mann’s political journey has been built on strong public connect. After winning Sangrur twice as MP, he was chosen as AAP’s CM face through a widely publicised phone poll and went on to win Dhuri with a massive margin. His popularity helped power the change narrative, but political rivals have consistently attacked him as a “remote-controlled” Chief Minister, questioning how much independent authority he exercises. As Punjab heads toward 2027, the key question is whether a leader backed by mass appeal but facing the “remote control” perception will once again be projected as the party’s CM face or will the next election demand a stronger image of independent leadership and governance performance ?
