Jalandhar: Unlike their main involvement in the 2014 Parliament and the 2017 Assembly selection, Punjabi Nris seems to be silent this time.
Even for Aam Aadmi, who got a big boost from Diaspora Punjabi in these two elections in Punjab, everything looked different this time.
To overcome this, Sanyukt Samaj Morcha (SSM), launched by a group of agricultural agencies, also did not receive a response to his robbery into the election politics.
This, almost a few months after active support from NRI for agriculture stir for more than a year.
In the past, Punjabi Nris used to re-choose politicians personally.
The 2012 election was the first time when a large number of them began to be interested in politics at home, especially after the People’s Party Punjab (PPP) Founder Manpreet Singh Badal abroad and won several support.
Even though PPP failed to win any seat, he walked away with a 5% voice share.
It was the main factor in a failed Congress to take power expected in the state and for the first time, the government of the SAD-BJP alliance received the second term in a row.
A protest in Calgary (Canada) to support farmers in parliamentary elections in 2014, the land appeared full for alternatives to emerge with the SAD-BJP alliance and Congress who faced difficult questions from voters.
With his victory in the election of the Delhi Assembly after India against the Corruption Movement (IAC), the AAM AADMI Party offered hopes of changing Punjab too.
Along with many punjabis at home, Nris hopes to bring change in punjab.
With the advent of the social media platform, Punjabi Diaspora worked obsessively to help AAP in 2014.
What BJP did at the national level in an organized manner, Nris did organically, making calls back home, posting on Facebook and even sending funds.
AAP then founded the unit abroad, as well as other parties.
The campaign bus used in the 2019 election, AAP maintains the advantage here and in the 2017 Assembly election witnessed by organized support from the NRIS, which has never been before, even as an element of concern has begun to seep, especially after the dismissal of Punjab which is not excessive AAP Convener unit Sucha Singh Chhotepur in 2016.
The overseas party unit held a fundraising function and campaigned aggressively on social media.
Some supporters of Diehard AAP even landed in Punjab under the ‘Chalo Punjab’ campaign, and the big hype was created when they landed in groups and featured Bhangra at the airport or traveled here on the bus.
Thus, as far as NRI, in 2014 and 2017, the selection of one-sided affair emerged.
Both Shiromani Akali Dal and Congress tried to get a foothold but met a limited success.
However, because the results of the 2017 elections came and AAP only received 20 seats, there was a massive anger between Nris against Arvind Kejriwal then representatives in Punjab – Durgesh Pathak and Sanjay Singh.
Then, the party could not remain united as several MLA, led by Sukhpal Singh Khaira, separated from ways after he was issued from the position of opposition leader through Twitter’s announcement, and questions about transparency and strict control of Delhi in Punjab affairs also appeared.
In the 2019 parliamentary election, several Punjabi Nris tilted the Punjab Democratic Alliance-BSP combining, also because AAP had shrunk at that time abroad.
Dr.
based in the US, Dr.
Swiman Singh, who served on the border of Tikri during the agricultural movement, has questioned AP and opposed the conversation by SSM for alliances with a party.
He is now very pitching for SSM after that it has announced his decision to go solo.
“This time, Punjabi Nris has not supported any party.
Before the 2017 election, the meeting was held even in Gurdwaras to support AAP, but this time the people were far very disappointed after their experience with the party and only a few spoke for them.
From their experience After 2017, now they cannot trust anyone now and have not come out even to support SSM, even when they have extended great support for agriculture stirring, “said Baljinder Singh, who remained Secretary of the AAP Unit in New Jersey, USA.
NRIS denied the agricultural movement too: the agricultural movement was another opportunity involved.
In awek farmers who reached the Delhi border, Diaspora Punjabi-Sikh had experienced their stirring and held several demonstrations and other activities to support them.
Even though farmers returned home and the poll scene in Punjab had heated up, except for a few exceptions, Nris seemed to watch from a distance.
