Mohan Lal Behram, a two-time SAD MLA, later contested from Banga as the BJP candidate but managed only 3,974 votes, underlining how thin the party’s presence remains in the constituency. With such a modest showing and BJP still struggling for relevance in rural Punjab, the question going into 2027 becomes sharper: Is Behram a serious face BJP wants to build around in Banga or was his candidature merely symbolic, borrowing from his Akali past without real ground strength ?
मोहन लाल बेहराम, जो दो बार अकाली दल के विधायक रह चुके हैं, बाद में भाजपा उम्मीदवार के तौर पर बंगा से मैदान में उतरे, लेकिन उन्हें केवल 3,974 वोट ही मिल सके। यह नतीजा साफ दिखाता है कि इस सीट पर भाजपा की पकड़ कितनी कमजोर है। ऐसे में 2027 की ओर बढ़ते हुए सवाल और तीखा हो जाता है: क्या भाजपा वाकई बंगा में बेहराम को एक गंभीर चेहरे के तौर पर आगे बढ़ाना चाहती है या फिर उनकी उम्मीदवारी सिर्फ प्रतीकात्मक थी, जो उनके अकाली अतीत पर टिकी थी, जमीनी ताकत पर नहीं ?
Balwinder Kaur entered the Attari contest as BJP’s face, but the result underlined a harsh reality: the party still lacks roots, organisation, and momentum in this border seat. With BJP struggling to even enter the main contest in Punjab’s rural belts, her candidature raised more questions than it answered.
