SR Kaler was the Shiromani Akali Dal candidate from Nihal Singh Wala seat in 2017, but in 2022 the party chose Baldev Singh Manuke instead. Now, with Akali Dal facing open factionalism and Manuke aligned with the Punar Surjit faction, the 2027 picture looks unsettled again. Will the party return to SR Kaler as its official face or does the internal split make ticket decisions even more uncertain ?
निहाल सिंह वाला सीट से एस.आर. कलेर 2017 में शिरोमणि अकाली दल के उम्मीदवार थे, लेकिन 2022 में पार्टी ने उनकी जगह बलदेव सिंह मानुके को टिकट दिया। अब, जब अकाली दल खुली गुटबाज़ी से जूझ रहा है और मानुके पुनर सुरजीत गुट के साथ खड़े हैं, तो 2027 की तस्वीर फिर से अनिश्चित दिखती है। सवाल साफ है—क्या पार्टी एक बार फिर एस.आर. कलेर पर भरोसा करेगी या अंदरूनी खींचतान टिकट के फैसलों को और उलझा देगी ?
With Gurpreet Singh GP having already moved to the Aam Aadmi Party in 2024, the Congress space in Bassi Pathana has been open for a while. This puts Dr. Manohar Singh, brother of Former Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi, back in the spotlight. After being denied a Congress ticket in 2022, Manohar Singh contested as an Independent and still managed 13,796 votes, showing clear ground presence despite fighting alone. Now back in the Congress fold, and with no sitting Congress MLA left in the seat, does his family link, loyalty reset, and proven vote base finally make him the natural Congress choice for 2027 ?
