Punjab’s decline is no longer a matter of debate.it is a painful reality visible in every sector. What makes the situation worse is that most of Punjab’s issues remain unsolved not because solutions are impossible, but because political hatred and jealousy have taken control of decision-making. Leaders fight each other harder than they fight the state’s real problems, and Punjab continues to suffer.
Punjab’s political atmosphere has become poisoned with ego clashes, personal rivalries, and revenge-driven behaviour. Politics has stopped being about public service. It has become a battleground where leaders compete to insult, discredit, and destroy each other. As a result, governments change but the problems remain exactly the same.
A long list of unresolved issues keeps growing every year. The drug crisis continues to destroy families, yet parties use it as a tool to attack each other instead of forming a united strategy. Farmers face debt, low income, and a crop crisis, but rather than creating long-term agricultural reforms, political leaders give speeches and blame opponents. Youth unemployment is at dangerous levels, pushing young people to leave Punjab in search of better opportunities abroad, while industries collapse due to policy instability.
Public services such as health, education, and law enforcement are suffering from neglect, but political leaders are too busy defending their image instead of repairing the system. Punjab’s financial condition continues to worsen because every government focuses more on undoing the previous government’s work than building a stable economic future.
All these problems remain unsolved because Punjab’s politics has no place for cooperation. Good ideas are rejected simply because they come from the opposite side. Projects are stopped out of jealousy. Policies change every five years, so nothing lasts long enough to show results. This short-term, ego-driven thinking has pushed the state into a deep crisis.
The real victims of this political hatred are the people of Punjab. Families worry about their children’s future. Farmers feel abandoned. Youth feel hopeless. Citizens lose faith in governance. Punjab is bleeding silently while its leaders are busy fighting each other.
For Punjab to rise again, political parties must act with maturity. The state needs unity, not rivalry. It needs long-term common policies, not temporary political drama. Only when leaders rise above jealousy and put Punjab first will the state recover its strength.
Punjab has suffered enough. It is time for healing, cooperation, and vision.
