With Shiromani Akali Dal slowly regaining traction in Punjab again and Sukhbir Singh Badal re-emerging as an active opposition face, Gulzar Singh Moonak suddenly finds himself back in a conversation he had almost slipped out of. But in Dirba, his 2022 tally, 31,975 votes (22.01%), still kept him far behind Harpal Cheema’s massive lead.
शिरोमणि अकाली दल के पंजाब में फिर से पकड़ बनाने और सुखबीर सिंह बादल के एक सक्रिय विपक्षी नेता के रूप में उभरने के साथ, गुलज़ार सिंह मूनक अचानक फिर चर्चा में आ गए हैं, एक ऐसी चर्चा जिससे वह लगभग बाहर हो चुके थे। लेकिन दिड़बा में 2022 में मिले उनके 31,975 वोट (22.01%) उन्हें हरपाल चीमा की भारी बढ़त से बहुत दूर छोड़ गए थे।
When people criticize the Government for every failure, broken promises, rising corruption, growing drug abuse, and the general decline of Punjab, it may feel justified. Yet if voters themselves keep supporting leaders who openly abandon the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, switch parties only for power, loot the public without shame, or contest from two constituencies and later force costly re-elections, then who is truly responsible for the state we have reached today ? Is it fair to blame only the leaders or must we also accept that voters share the responsibility, especially if we cannot bring even 100–125 honest and capable people out of our own homes to guide Punjab toward a better future ?
