As a Punjabi, I feel infuriated to see our state being defamed in the name of its farmers- being blamed through sheer propaganda- no data to supplant the claims! Punjab & Delhi citizens should be aware of the reality-actual causes of pollution & whom should they question for it!
The country is rife with the debate whether Bollywood is the new outlet for political discourse. Shared my thoughts on the same with

The propaganda in Delhi against Punjab farmers and stubble burning is downright malicious! In the past too, Punjab has suffered at the hands of vicious politics, fight back to normalcy & now once again an anti-Punjab sentiment is being floated just for political reasons!

A small social media-driven fight in Patiala has been blown out of proportion.

On an AC seat of avg 200 polling booths,
Party A wins only 40% booths-80 by 400 votes on average,i.e. lead of 32K
Parties(B+C) win rest 60%,by 200 votes on an average-lead of 24k
Party A wins! Why?
Party A's ground infrastructure ensures max polling on their stronger booths!
“Biased views being propagated by media are affecting the people, weakening democracy, and harming the system. In this process, justice delivery gets adversely affected. By overstepping and breaching ur responsibility, U are taking our democracy 2 steps backwards.”- CJI NV Ramana
An outright abuse of tax agencies for political aims is not what democracies do.
The harassment we have suffered is not ours alone: it is part of the process of stifling the opposition through state power.
My statement:
There is no such thing as a “complimentary
#digital
strategy” anymore — it’s simply strategy in a ‘digital age’.
The future of campaigns will be great creative, truly actionable analytics & I fundamentally believe that
#politics
must fully embrace digital’s disruptive potential.
Elections are a great learning experience. My take aways:
•Party infrastructures need to be oiled!
•Each section needs to be reached out to
•Campaigns need ample time to flourish
These are basics- but they make all the difference just like they did in Chhattisgarh in 2018!
Have you seen a relay race?
Normally the team maintaining lead from start has better chance of winning!
Elections r like relay race- the party maintaining a steady campaign momentum is likely to win over d other which starts a month before-even if its campaigns are more loved!
All our teachers play a crucial role in shaping the people we become but Puri ma'am is one teacher who made such a lasting impression in our lives that we can't thank her enough for all the learning we received from her.

Ji, and exchanging ideas about digital media campaigns for Punjab for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Facts:
1. Delhi Govt collected an environment cess of 883 cr in last 4 years from trucks
2. Spent just 1.6% out of it to tackle pollution issues.
So before pointing fingers at Punjab & its farmers next time, people should know who to blame& question!
