Sukhbir Singh Badal has demanded a central agency probe into alleged illegal sand mining in Punjab, asking the BJP-led Centre to investigate the matter. This raises an intriguing question: When Sukhbir Singh Badal is directly asking the BJP-led Centre to act against the Aam Aadmi Party government, is this simply an opposition demand or does it also keep a political channel with the BJP open ahead of 2027 ?
सुखबीर सिंह बादल ने पंजाब में कथित अवैध रेत खनन की केंद्रीय एजेंसी से जांच की मांग करते हुए भाजपा के नेतृत्व वाली केंद्र सरकार से कार्रवाई की अपील की है। इससे एक दिलचस्प सवाल उठता है: जब सुखबीर सिंह बादल आम आदमी पार्टी सरकार के खिलाफ कार्रवाई के लिए केंद्र से सीधे मांग कर रहे हैं, तो क्या यह सिर्फ विपक्ष की मांग है या 2027 से पहले भाजपा के साथ राजनीतिक संपर्क बनाए रखने का तरीका भी है ?
Manpreet Singh Ayali, a three-time SAD MLA, formally joined Akali Dal (Waris Punjab De) in June 2026, after leaving the Shiromani Akali Dal (Punar Surjit). The outfit is led by jailed Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh. Ayali has since taken an organisational role in the party in Amritpal's absence. His move gives Amritpal Singh’s political project an experienced elected face from Malwa. But the 2027 election will test whether Ayali can retain his own political base while helping build a wider organisation. Did Manpreet Singh Ayali gain a bigger political platform by joining Amritpal Singh’s camp or has he put his own Dakha stronghold at risk ?
