Punjab has found its hero, and his superpower is opposition. Partap Singh Bajwa, the Leader of the Opposition, has officially been declared Punjab’s “Official Opposer-in-Chief,” a title earned after years of tirelessly criticising government policies—sometimes even before they exist. If the ruling party smiles, Bajwa questions why. If the sun rises, he files a statement asking, “Was this government-approved?” His commitment to opposition knows no bounds.
Bajwa doesn’t just oppose policies; he opposes optimism itself. Last week, when AAP announced a flood relief campaign, Bajwa issued a statement declaring, “This will fail spectacularly—like all positive things in Punjab!” Meteorologists are reportedly baffled, and citizens now wonder if rainbows are also under political scrutiny. His press conferences have become legendary events, covering everything from missing streetlights to free school biscuits. No issue is too small for a Bajwa critique.
Innovation meets satire in Bajwa’s world. Rumour has it that he is developing an Opposometer, a device that beeps every time the ruling party takes any action—even breathing. Early prototypes reportedly exploded after just one week of AAP governance. Bajwa also keeps a “Complaint Diary” where every minor government action is meticulously logged, from stray cows wandering streets to misplaced traffic cones. Punjab has never seen accountability taken this seriously—or this humorously.
Bajwa’s future plans include launching “Bajwa’s Brigade,” a political initiative dedicated solely to opposing every act of the government, including governing itself. The Brigade’s motto? “If they govern, we oppose. If they pause, we question why. If they breathe… we issue a statement.” Even natural phenomena are not safe: Bajwa once questioned a rainbow, claiming it could mislead the public about Punjab’s climate situation. Pigeons perching on government buildings have also come under his critical gaze.
Whether Punjab needs him or not, one thing is certain: Partap Singh Bajwa has mastered the art of satire in politics. His voice is loud, his statements are countless, and his dedication to opposition is unmatched. Punjab may have infrastructure challenges, budget issues, and stray cows—but it now has a master of comedic accountability, ensuring that no government action, however small, goes unopposed.
