A new twist in the matter of allocating space to Haryana for a new Assembly in Chandigarh… Tirchhi Nazar.
According to reports, the Modi government’s Ministry of Home Affairs has recommended the chief minister of Haryana not to press for a separate Legislative Assembly in Chandigarh.
Haryana’s plea was previously denied by the Chandigarh Administration for technical reasons, but it now seems that Delhi’s political establishment has also sent a strong message.
The Punjab Vidhan Sabha elections in 2027 appear to be the fundamental cause.
Given that it is already under fire over the Panjab University Senate problem and the ongoing discussion about Chandigarh’s status, the BJP leadership probably does not want any new political crisis at this time. Nayab Singh Saini, the chief minister of Haryana, is also anticipated to become more involved in politics in Punjab and might be a prominent campaigner in the Assembly elections.
If the center has indeed chosen not to make space for a new assembly facility, it is a good thing. It is crucial to keep in mind that the original land distribution to Haryana was personally approved by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
In the meantime, it’s still uncertain what the BJP will do in Punjab, especially for the 2027 elections. It’s unclear if the party will run on its own or in coalition with the Shiromani Akali Dal or a different party faction. There are still conflicting statements coming from different leaders, and the situation is still very unclear.
Another concern is whether the central government, which is run by the BJP, will take significant action to rectify the injustices that Punjab has previously experienced.
