Manpreet Singh Ayali was projected as one of the biggest faces of Akali Dal (Punar Surjit) and was even entrusted with leading efforts for Panthic unity. But after Ayali’s exit, the faction has been hit by yet another setback, leaving leaders like Gurpartap Singh Wadala and Sucha Singh Chhotepur questioning those who walked away. With several prominent faces already gone and the party struggling to expand its footprint, critics are asking whether the problem lies with those leaving, or with a leadership model that has failed to keep its own team together. Is Akali Dal (Punar Surjit) becoming a victim of political impatience, or are repeated exits exposing deeper cracks within the experiment itself ?
मनप्रीत सिंह अयाली को अकाली दल (पुनर सुरजीत) का सबसे बड़ा चेहरा माना जाता था और उन्हें पंथक एकता की कोशिशों की जिम्मेदारी भी सौंपी गई थी। लेकिन अयाली के अलग होने के बाद पार्टी को एक और बड़ा झटका लगा है। अब गुरप्रताप सिंह वडाला और सुच्चा सिंह छोटेपुर जैसे नेता उन लोगों पर सवाल उठा रहे हैं जो बीच रास्ते में साथ छोड़ गए। कई प्रमुख चेहरे पहले ही जा चुके हैं और पार्टी अभी तक अपना मजबूत राजनीतिक आधार भी नहीं बना सकी है। ऐसे में सवाल उठ रहा है कि समस्या जाने वालों में है या फिर उस नेतृत्व मॉडल में जो अपनी ही टीम को साथ नहीं रख पाया। क्या अकाली दल (पुनर सुरजीत) राजनीतिक अधीरता का शिकार हो रहा है, या फिर लगातार हो रहे इस्तीफे इस प्रयोग की गहरी कमजोरियों को उजागर कर रहे हैं ?
Guriqbal Singh Mahal has spent years trying to crack one of Punjab Congress’s toughest fortresses, Qadian. For decades, the constituency has largely revolved around Partap Singh Bajwa’s influence, making it one of the hardest seats for rivals to conquer. Yet Mahal’s strong performance in 2022 showed that the contest may no longer be as one-sided as it once seemed. As 2027 approaches, the pressure is now on him to prove that he is more than just a challenger who came close. The real question now is, can Guriqbal Singh Mahal finally turn Qadian into a genuine Akali breakthrough story, or will he once again discover that challenging Partap Bajwa is easier than defeating him ?
