Parminder Singh Dhindsa’s political journey has seen power, shifts, and setbacks, from being a key Akali leader and Finance Minister to facing defeats and changing party alignments. A multiple-time MLA from Sunam and winner from Lehra in 2017, he later lost ground in 2022 while contesting from a breakaway faction. He also faced a setback in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from Sangrur and was denied a ticket in 2024, adding another layer to his political challenges. Now, being part of Shiromani Akali Dal (Punar Surjit), the focus is back on where he rebuilds his political base. With his past spread across Sunam, Lehra, and Sangrur, the big question ahead of 2027 is as much about strategy as survival. Will Parminder Singh Dhindsa return to his old turf to reclaim lost ground, or will he pick a new battleground to revive his political relevance in 2027 ?
परमिंदर सिंह ढींडसा का राजनीतिक सफर सत्ता, बदलाव और चुनौतियों से भरा रहा है। एक समय वह अकाली दल के प्रमुख नेता और वित्त मंत्री रहे, लेकिन बाद के वर्षों में उन्हें हार और पार्टी बदलाव का सामना करना पड़ा। वह सुनाम से कई बार विधायक रहे और 2017 में लहरा से जीत हासिल की, लेकिन 2022 में अलग गुट से चुनाव लड़ते हुए हार गए। 2019 के लोकसभा चुनाव में संगरूर से भी उन्हें हार का सामना करना पड़ा और 2024 में टिकट नहीं मिलने से उनकी राजनीतिक स्थिति और चुनौतीपूर्ण हो गई। अब शिरोमणि अकाली दल (पुनर सुरजीत) का हिस्सा होने के नाते, ध्यान इस बात पर है कि वह अपनी राजनीतिक जमीन कहां से दोबारा खड़ी करेंगे। सुनाम, लहरा और संगरूर जैसे क्षेत्रों में उनका अनुभव रहा है, ऐसे में 2027 को लेकर सवाल सिर्फ वापसी का नहीं, बल्कि सही रणनीति चुनने का भी है। क्या परमिंदर सिंह ढींडसा अपनी पुरानी सीट पर लौटकर खोया आधार वापस पाने की कोशिश करेंगे, या फिर नई जगह से अपनी राजनीतिक पहचान फिर से बनाने की राह चुनेंगे ?
Ahead of 2027 elections, the talks of a possible shift of Sukhbir Singh Badal to Gidderbaha have added a fresh twist to Punjab politics, especially after his 2022 defeat from Jalalabad, which dented his strong image. At the same time, Lambi remains deeply tied to the legacy of his father, Late Sardar Parkash Singh Badal, making any move from there politically and symbolically significant. If Sukhbir decides to contest from Gidderbaha, it won’t just be about strategy but also about succession, will Lambi be handed over to the next generation with Anantveer Singh Badal making his debut, or will he look to settle old scores elsewhere ?
