Rahul Gandhi’s warning in Barnala, “work as a team or sit at home”, sounded tough, but in Punjab Congress, the real question is whether anyone is actually listening. In a unit known more for group politics than teamwork, and where every leader seems to run their own camp, the party often looks less like a team and more like a political family gathering where everyone wants to lead the procession.
बरनाला में राहुल गांधी की चेतावनी, “टीम बनकर काम करो, नहीं तो घर बैठो”, सख्त जरूर लगी, लेकिन पंजाब कांग्रेस में असली सवाल यह है कि क्या कोई सच में इसे गंभीरता से लेगा ? जिस इकाई की पहचान टीमवर्क से ज्यादा गुटबाजी के लिए रही है, और जहां लगभग हर नेता अपने अलग खेमा चलाता दिखता है, वहां पार्टी कई बार एक टीम से ज्यादा ऐसे राजनीतिक जमावड़े जैसी लगती है जहां हर कोई जुलूस की अगुवाई करना चाहता है।
While Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann speaks about a health revolution and improved medical facilities in Punjab, his decision to head to Bengaluru for a week-long naturopathy treatment soon after a hospital discharge has sparked political chatter. If the state’s healthcare system is being projected as stronger than ever, the sharper question is whether the leadership’s personal choices reflect confidence in that system or unintentionally send a different message. When the Government promotes better healthcare at home but the Chief Minister seeks recovery outside the state, is this personal wellness or optics that the opposition won’t miss ?
