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.
Sukhwinder Singh Danny Bandala rose through the Congress ranks, held key organizational roles, and secured a win from Jandiala in 2017, marking him as a strong face in the party. But politics in Punjab has shifted fast, and staying relevant now requires more than past success and party positions.
सुखविंदर सिंह डैनी बंडाला ने कांग्रेस में रहते हुए संगठनात्मक स्तर पर मजबूत पकड़ बनाई, कई अहम जिम्मेदारियां निभाईं और 2017 में जंडियाला से जीत हासिल कर खुद को पार्टी का एक मजबूत चेहरा साबित किया। लेकिन पंजाब की राजनीति तेजी से बदली है, और अब केवल पुरानी जीत और पद ही काफी नहीं हैं।
Inderbir Singh Bolaria built a strong political base in Amritsar South, continuing a legacy started by his father, Raminder Singh Bolaria, who won from the constituency in 2007 and became an MLA. After his father’s passing, Inderbir Singh Bolaria won the 2008 by-election and went on to secure consecutive victories in 2012 and 2017, establishing himself as a consistent leader in the area. However, his defeat in the 2022 elections to Aam Aadmi Party marked a major shift, raising questions about whether that long-standing hold has weakened amid changing political trends in Punjab. After carrying forward a strong political legacy and winning three consecutive elections, but losing in 2022, can Inderbir Singh Bolaria rebuild his base and make a comeback, or has the ground reality in Amritsar South clearly moved beyond his traditional strength ?
