The Story in Brief
Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal challenged Arvind Kejriwal to an open debate over alleged paper leaks and recruitment scams in Punjab. Speaking at a protest in Bathinda, Badal demanded the resignation of ministers Harjot Bains and Balbir Singh and a CBI probe into 10 alleged leak cases. He said more than 10 lakh students were affected. India Today reports that Badal claimed over half of 60,000 jobs given by the AAP government went to candidates from outside Punjab. He cited examples including 24 of 68 veterinary inspector posts going to Haryana candidates. Badal also promised 100% government jobs for Punjabis and 75% local hiring in industry if SAD returns to power in 2027.
The Indian Opinion
Both the SAD and AAP are playing the same game: promising jobs they have not delivered and blaming each other for paper leaks. Sukhbir Badal’s claim that 60% of new health posts went to non-Punjabis is a sharp attack, but his own 100% reservation pledge for Punjabis may not survive courts. The real test is numbers: will the CBI actually investigate the 10 leak cases, or will this debate end in speeches? Both sides need to show proof, not just slogans.
