Arvind Khanna has long been one of Punjab’s most prominent businessman-politicians, known for his resources, connections and influence across party lines. As the Shiromani Akali Dal looks to regain ground ahead of 2027, Khanna is expected to be a key face in Sangrur. But the road ahead may not be easy, with Congress leader Vijay Inder Singla eyeing a comeback and AAP's Narinder Kaur Bharaj still carrying the advantage of the ruling party's support base. As Sangrur shapes up to be a three-cornered contest, can Khanna finally deliver the big electoral victory that has often eluded him, or will Singla and Bharaj once again stand in his way ?
अरविंद खन्ना लंबे समय से पंजाब के सबसे चर्चित उद्योगपति-राजनेताओं में गिने जाते हैं। अपने संसाधनों, राजनीतिक संपर्कों और प्रभाव के लिए जाने जाने वाले खन्ना से शिरोमणि अकाली दल को 2027 से पहले काफी उम्मीदें हैं। लेकिन संगरूर की राह आसान नहीं दिख रही। कांग्रेस के विजय इंदर सिंगला वापसी की कोशिश में हैं, जबकि आम आदमी पार्टी की नरिंदर कौर भराज को अभी भी सत्ताधारी दल का लाभ और मजबूत संगठन का सहारा प्राप्त है। ऐसे में जब संगरूर एक त्रिकोणीय मुकाबले की ओर बढ़ता दिख रहा है, क्या अरविंद खन्ना आखिरकार वह बड़ी चुनावी जीत हासिल कर पाएंगे जो अब तक उनसे दूर रही है, या फिर सिंगला और भराज एक बार फिर उनकी राह रोक देंगे ?
Prem Singh Chandumajra is now calling for all Punjabis to come together to save Punjab and the Panth. On the surface, it sounds like a powerful appeal for unity. Yet the timing is hard to ignore. After years of Akali splits, breakaway factions, and efforts to build alternatives to the Shiromani Akali Dal, several leaders from these camps are now speaking the language of unity. At the same time, voices within the wider breakaway Akali space, including Bibi Jagir Kaur, have also indicated openness to possible understandings with the BJP. As old political lines begin to blur and alliance speculation grows, one question is becoming increasingly difficult to avoid: If unity was always the goal, why did Punjab politics spend years creating new factions only to circle back toward old political equations ?
