Anil Joshi, who was a two-time BJP MLA from Amritsar North in 2007 and 2012, contested the 2022 election on a Shiromani Akali Dal ticket but managed only 29,719 votes while AAP secured 46.98%. After multiple party switches, he has now officially joined Congress. Considering his history of changing loyalties, past defeats, and the strategic importance of this constituency, should Congress choose to field him from Amritsar North?
अनिल जोशी, जो 2007 और 2012 में अमृतसर उत्तर से दो बार भाजपा विधायक रह चुके हैं, ने 2022 के चुनाव में शिरोमणि अकाली दल के टिकट से चुनाव लड़ा लेकिन केवल 29,719 वोट ही प्राप्त कर पाए जबकि AAP ने 46.98% वोट हासिल किए। कई बार पार्टी बदलने के बाद, अब वह आधिकारिक रूप से कांग्रेस में शामिल हो गए हैं। उनके पार्टी बदलने के इतिहास, पिछली हार और इस सीट की रणनीतिक अहमियत को देखते हुए क्या कांग्रेस को उन्हें अमृतसर उत्तर से उम्मीदवार बनाना चाहिए?
Sukhwinder Singh “Danny” Bandala began as a prominent Youth Congress leader, later won the Jandiala seat in 2017 with a strong public wave behind him. But the 2022 defeat shifted the ground, raising questions about whether his early rise was the start of a long political journey or just a moment of momentum. Today, as Punjab’s political landscape keeps changing and new faces replace old confidence, people wonder whether Danny is quietly preparing a comeback strategy or slowly becoming a familiar name with decreasing impact.
