Why is Punjab opposition leader Partap Singh Bajwa not raising his voice against Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann at the moment, has he taken a vow of silence?
Baljinder Kaur has been one of Aam Aadmi Party’s early and recognisable women faces in Punjab, rising from the anti-corruption movement to become a two-time MLA from Talwandi Sabo. She has seen both wins and setbacks, from losing her first bypoll and Lok Sabha bid to returning stronger in Assembly politics. As 2027 approaches, the key question is whether Baljinder Kaur remains AAP’s strongest woman leader in rural Punjab, or whether new faces in the party are now overtaking her space and influence. Can experience, loyalty, and ground connect keep her ahead, or is a fresh political shift coming ?
बलजिंदर कौर पंजाब में आम आदमी पार्टी के शुरुआती और पहचाने जाने वाले महिला चेहरों में से एक रही हैं। भ्रष्टाचार विरोधी आंदोलन से निकलकर वह तलवंडी साबो से दो बार विधायक बनीं। उन्होंने जीत भी देखी है और झटके भी, पहली उपचुनाव हार और लोकसभा हार के बाद विधानसभा राजनीति में फिर मजबूत वापसी की। जैसे-जैसे 2027 करीब आ रहा है, बड़ा सवाल यह है कि क्या बलजिंदर कौर ग्रामीण पंजाब में आम आदमी पार्टी की सबसे मजबूत महिला नेता बनी रहेंगी, या पार्टी के नए चेहरे अब उनकी जगह और प्रभाव को चुनौती दे रहे हैं ? क्या अनुभव, वफादारी और ज़मीनी पकड़ उन्हें आगे रखेगी, या नया राजनीतिक बदलाव आने वाला है ?
Ajit Pal Singh Kohli captured Patiala in 2022 by defeating former Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh, breaking a long-held political grip in one of Punjab’s most symbolic seats. As 2027 approaches, the battle could become even sharper if Congress tries to reclaim lost ground while BJP may consider Jai Inder Kaur in case Captain Amarinder Singh does not contest, keeping the family’s hold in play. The big question is whether Patiala stays with Ajit Pal Singh Kohli and AAP, or returns to old legacy politics through a united challenge. Who really holds the edge in Patiala for 2027 ?
