A leader's personality is reflected in the confidence they inspire during difficult political circumstances. In the 2022 Punjab Assembly elections, Ganieve Kaur Majithia emerged victorious from Majitha even as senior Shiromani Akali Dal leaders Sukhbir Singh Badal and Bikram Singh Majithia lost their seats. Did her personality and public connect make the difference ? How would you rate Ganieve Kaur Majithia's personality as a political leader ?
BL Santosh has declared that the BJP will contest all 117 Punjab Assembly seats on its own and form the government. Kewal Singh Dhillon has also ruled out an alliance, even as speculation about a possible Akali Dal reunion continues. After years of relying on the Akali Dal’s rural network, the BJP is now projecting itself as a party ready to fight Punjab alone. Is BL Santosh’s 117-seat announcement a clear sign of confidence, or is the BJP getting ahead of its actual ground strength ?
बी.एल. संतोष ने कहा है कि भाजपा पंजाब की सभी 117 विधानसभा सीटों पर अकेले चुनाव लड़ेगी और सरकार बनाएगी। केवल सिंह ढिल्लों ने भी गठबंधन की संभावना को खारिज किया है, जबकि अकाली दल के साथ संभावित वापसी की अटकलें अब भी जारी हैं। लंबे समय तक अकाली दल के ग्रामीण नेटवर्क पर निर्भर रहने के बाद भाजपा अब पंजाब में अकेले लड़ने और अपनी ताकत के दम पर आगे बढ़ने का दावा कर रही है। क्या बी.एल. संतोष का 117 सीटों पर लड़ने का ऐलान साफ आत्मविश्वास दिखाता है या भाजपा अपनी जमीनी ताकत से आगे की बात कर रही है ?
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini is now openly campaigning in Punjab, promising to tackle drugs, corruption and unemployment if the BJP comes to power. His role raises a wider question as the party prepares for 2027: Will Punjab voters welcome leaders from neighbouring states as a political advantage, or will they want Punjab’s own leaders to take centre stage ? What do you think ?
