Charanjit Singh Brar, once Sukhbir Badal’s political advisor, contested Rajpura in 2022 on an SAD ticket, got only about 15,006 votes, finished fourth, was expelled, and later joined the rebel faction led by Giani Harpreet Singh. Can he make a comeback in Rajpura in 2027 while being in the rebel group ?
चरणजीत सिंह बराड़, जो कभी सुखबीर बादल के राजनीतिक सलाहकार थे, ने 2022 में राजपुरा से अकाली दल के टिकट पर चुनाव लड़ा था। उन्हें लगभग 15,006 वोट मिले, चौथे स्थान पर रहे, बाद में पार्टी से निष्कासित कर दिए गए और फिर जत्थेदार ज्ञानी हरप्रीत सिंह के नेतृत्व वाले बागी गुट में शामिल हो गए। ऐसी स्थिति में, क्या वह 2027 में राजपुरा से राजनीतिक वापसी कर सकते हैं ?
Phagwara Seat, one of the key questions for the 2027 elections is who the Shiromani Akali Dal will field from Phagwara. In previous assembly elections, SAD has hardly fielded its own candidate from this seat and has only contested as part of alliances, leaving the contest largely to Congress, BJP, and other parties. The seat has often switched between BJP and Congress, making it highly competitive. Meanwhile, leaders like Ranjit Singh Khurana and other local figures remain active in the constituency, working to strengthen SAD’s base. As the 2027 elections approach, will SAD break its tradition and contest independently, assert its presence, and try to reclaim the seat or will it continue to rely on alliances to influence the outcome ?
