Punjab has more than 20 thousand registered factories where around 8 lakh workers called blue-collar workers are employed, which is less than even 3.3% of the population of Punjab that has regular jobs.
Jagmohan Singh Kang has seen almost every turn in Punjab politics, winning from Morinda and Kharar, serving as minister, leaving Congress for AAP in 2022 with his sons, and then returning to Congress in 2024. With decades of experience and name recognition, he remains a known face, but repeated party switches have also raised questions about political consistency. As Punjab moves toward 2027 and ticket battles grow sharper, the key issue is whether Kang’s long experience still gives him an edge, or whether newer faces and loyalty concerns could limit his comeback chances.
जगमोहन सिंह कंग ने पंजाब राजनीति के लगभग हर दौर को देखा है। वह मोरिंडा और खरड़ से जीत चुके हैं, मंत्री रह चुके हैं, 2022 में अपने बेटों के साथ कांग्रेस छोड़कर आम आदमी पार्टी में शामिल हो गए, और फिर 2024 में दोबारा कांग्रेस में लौट आए। दशकों के अनुभव और पहचान के कारण वह अब भी एक जाना-पहचाना चेहरा हैं, लेकिन बार-बार पार्टी बदलने से राजनीतिक स्थिरता पर सवाल भी उठे हैं। जैसे-जैसे पंजाब 2027 की ओर बढ़ रहा है और टिकट की लड़ाई तेज हो रही है, बड़ा सवाल यह है कि क्या कंग का लंबा अनुभव उन्हें बढ़त देगा, या नए चेहरे और वफादारी के सवाल उनकी वापसी की राह मुश्किल करेंगे।
Sher Singh Ghubaya has shown rare political survival in Punjab, winning as an Akali leader in the past and then returning as a Congress MP from Ferozepur after changing parties. From MLA to two-time MP and now again in Parliament, his career reflects experience, adaptability, and a strong local network in border politics. As 2027 approaches, the key question is whether Sher Singh Ghubaya will stay focused on national politics as MP, or whether Congress may deploy him in the Punjab Assembly battle from Jalalabad or Ferozepur to strengthen its chances on the ground. Will he remain Delhi-focused, or return to state politics for one more major fight ?
