BJP has put its national and Punjab leaders behind the Nasha Mukt Punjab campaign, with rallies and yatras taking the drug issue across the state. But Punjab’s political concerns go far beyond drugs, jobs, farming, industry, migration, debt, water and the rural economy remain major issues. If BJP keeps sending its biggest leaders to Punjab to repeat the same Nasha Mukt message, is the party offering a wider political vision for Punjab or has it found one issue to keep the campaign stage busy ?
भाजपा ने अपने राष्ट्रीय और पंजाब के नेताओं को नशा-मुक्त पंजाब अभियान के साथ पूरी तरह मैदान में उतार दिया है। रैलियों और यात्राओं के जरिए पूरे पंजाब में नशे के मुद्दे को प्रमुखता दी जा रही है। लेकिन पंजाब की राजनीतिक चिंताएं सिर्फ नशे तक सीमित नहीं हैं। रोज़गार, खेती, उद्योग, पलायन, कर्ज़, पानी और ग्रामीण अर्थव्यवस्था भी बड़े मुद्दे हैं। अगर भाजपा अपने बड़े नेताओं को बार-बार पंजाब भेजकर वही नशा-मुक्त संदेश दोहराती रहती है, तो क्या पार्टी पंजाब के लिए व्यापक राजनीतिक दृष्टि पेश कर रही है या चुनावी मंच को व्यस्त रखने के लिए उसे एक ही मुद्दा मिल गया है ?
BJP is preparing to make unemployment and youth concerns part of its Punjab campaign. But raising the issue is easier than convincing young voters that the party has a Punjab-specific plan for jobs, skills, industry and migration. With 2027 approaching, can BJP turn its youth campaign into a genuine political connection with Punjab’s young voters or will “jobs” remain another election talking point ?
