Congress MLA from Bholath, Sukhpal Singh Khaira has switched parties multiple times—from Congress to AAP, then forming Punjab Ekta Party, and back to Congress. After losing the 2024 Sangrur Lok Sabha seat to Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer by over 1.7 lakh votes, his credibility has been questioned repeatedly. In 2027, will Punjab voters trust Khaira’s political reinventions?

A possible alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal ahead of the 2027 Punjab elections could put Punjab BJP leaders in an awkward spot. Some leaders built their political standing by attacking the Akali Dal, while some joined the BJP after leaving other parties. If the two parties now come together, will these leaders have to defend a partner they once criticised ? Would an alliance with Shiromani Akali Dal force its state leaders to surrender the political space they have spent years trying to build ?
2027 के पंजाब विधानसभा चुनावों से पहले शिरोमणि अकाली दल के साथ संभावित गठबंधन पंजाब भाजपा के नेताओं को असहज स्थिति में डाल सकता है। कुछ नेताओं ने अकाली दल की आलोचना करके अपनी राजनीतिक पहचान बनाई है, जबकि कुछ दूसरे दलों को छोड़कर भाजपा में शामिल हुए हैं। अगर दोनों दल अब साथ आते हैं, तो क्या इन नेताओं को उस सहयोगी दल का बचाव करना पड़ेगा जिसकी वे कभी आलोचना करते थे ? क्या शिरोमणि अकाली दल के साथ गठबंधन से भाजपा के राज्य नेताओं को अपनी उस राजनीतिक जमीन से समझौता करना पड़ेगा, जिसे बनाने में उन्होंने वर्षों लगाए हैं ?
Cross-border drones are a major concern in Punjab’s fight against drug smuggling. As the BJP steps up its anti-drug campaign ahead of the 2027 elections, questions remain about border security, anti-drone systems and the Centre’s role in stopping drugs from entering Punjab. The BJP promises a drug-free Punjab, but cross-border drones remain a security concern. If stopping drugs at the border is key to ending the crisis, why is the anti-drone shield such a big question mark ? Can the BJP promise a drug-free Punjab without first showing how it will plug the gaps in border security ?
