A three-time MLA from Sham Chaurasi and once a core face of the Shiromani Akali Dal, Mohinder Kaur Josh found herself out of the 2022 race after being denied a party ticket , a decision that triggered a shift from Akali Dal to BJP. Since then, she has stayed electorally absent while continuing to assert that her connect with voters remains intact.
शाम चौरासी से तीन बार विधायक रह चुकीं और कभी शिरोमणि अकाली दल की प्रमुख चेहरा रहीं मोहिंदर कौर जोश 2022 के चुनाव में टिकट न मिलने के बाद मैदान से बाहर हो गईं। इसी फैसले के बाद उन्होंने अकाली दल छोड़कर भाजपा का रुख किया। तब से वे चुनावी राजनीति से दूर हैं, लेकिन लगातार दावा करती रही हैं कि उनका जनाधार आज भी कायम है।
After staying on the margins in Tanda Urmar while AAP, Congress and Akali factions battle it out, BJP still lacks a clear face that can seriously challenge the local power balance. With 2027 approaching and BJP talking big about expansion in Punjab, the uncomfortable question remains: Does the party even have a credible candidate in Tanda Urmar or is it still relying on national narrative without local roots ? And if BJP keeps waiting for the “right time,” will Tanda Urmar slip further out of reach before the fight even begins ?
