Summary
Punjab has a large population of youth, victims of drugs. The youth who have survived this addiction are going abroad. This is Punjab, here the government is tested in a single year.
Aam Aadmi Party has made a clean sweep in the Punjab Assembly elections. Most of the stalwarts of traditional parties like Congress and Shiromani Akali Dal, which have been enjoying power in the state for decades, have lost. In Punjab adjoining Pakistan border, Aam Aadmi Party will have to step carefully. Many big problems like possible ‘brain drain and chitta’ of the state will be included in the major challenges for the future Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.
Punjab has a large population of youth, victims of drugs. The youth who have survived this addiction are going abroad. Raminder Singh, a member of the state committee of Kirti Kisan Union, who has knowledge of Punjab’s politics, agriculture and social and economic structure, says, “Engineering colleges in Punjab are lying vacant today, while the IELTS centers are crowded. This is Punjab, here the government is tested in a single year.
Test them, now test them and see…
Congress and Akali Dal have been in power in Punjab for decades. Raminder Singh says, the people of Punjab were fed up with these two parties. Before the Congress rule, the Akalis had enjoyed power for 10 years. Whatever happened during that time, the people of the state have not forgotten it. Mafia, drug addiction and sacrilege, such incidents distanced the people of Punjab from Shiromani Akali Dal. There were serious allegations against the Badal family. Tired people had decided this time, they have been tested, now test them and see them. That’s just the theory behind your victory. Akali Dal did not speak openly on the issue of farmers. Initially, he remained engaged with the BJP over three laws. Later Akali Dal came out of the Modi government. The farmers got angry. This was the reason that the farmers and other sections kept distance from the Akali Dal in the elections. The people of the state were fed up with these political parties.
The election results of Punjab have made it clear that those who do not deliver public interest, they will go down from the chair. As Raminder Singh, the people of Punjab want delivery in every aspect. Meaning the party which will live up to the expectations of the people, only it will get a chance. Today, in the massive victory that the Aam Aadmi Party has got in Punjab, one of the main things is that people wanted to teach a lesson to the old parties. People have given opportunity to AAP for meaningful change. AAP government will have to give delivery in one year.
There is a huge problem of drug addiction in Punjab. ‘Chitta’ (synthetic drugs) dominate. There is a competition among the youth to go abroad. The youth is trying to somehow go abroad. Bhagwant Mann has to show something in this regard. The issue of agriculture and jobs is big. The state has a debt of Rs 3 lakh crore. The water is going down. Farming farming is proving to be a loss-making deal. The people of Punjab wanted a Sikh face. Kejriwal understood this sentiment of the people. Now it’s Bhagwant Mann’s turn. Raminder Singh says, Punjab is a border state. The sabotage efforts from Pakistan side keep going on. Drones are being shot down every day. Drugs and weapons are coming from across the border. Along with all these challenges, Mann will also have to deal with Khalistani activities.
