In Malout, Baljit Kaur’s 2022 victory was not just comfortable, it was crushing. With 77,370 votes (55.6%), she left the Akali Dal and Congress nowhere near the contest. Such a margin speaks power, but also raises sharper doubts.
मलोट में 2022 में बलजीत कौर की जीत सिर्फ आसान नहीं, बल्कि ज़बरदस्त थी। 77,370 वोट (55.6%) लेकर उन्होंने अकाली दल और कांग्रेस को मुकाबले से बहुत पीछे छोड़ दिया। इतनी बड़ी जीत ताक़त दिखाती है, लेकिन साथ ही कुछ सवाल भी खड़े करती है।
In Dharamkot, Devinderjeet Singh Laddi Dhos didn’t just win in 2022, he defeated the sitting 2017 Congress MLA, Sukhjeet Singh Kaka Lohgarh, with a commanding 65,378 votes (45.97%). The result marked a clear break from the past and signaled a strong shift in voter mood. But landslides also raise sharper questions. Was this victory a personal rejection of the old Congress guard or mainly the force of the 2022 AAP wave sweeping aside incumbents ? And as 2027 nears, can Laddi Dhos defend this mandate through delivery and visibility or will the same voters who voted for change demand results just as strongly ?
