Sunil Kumar Jakhar, the only politician who has served as President of both the Congress and BJP in Punjab is no stranger to high-stakes politics. After returning to the scene in 2025, the big question for 2027 looms: Will Jakhar stick to his political fortress in Abohar, where he won three consecutive terms (2002–2017), or attempt a bold comeback from Gurdaspur, a seat he once held as MP, but where BJP’s Parminder Singh Gill could barely manage 7.91% of the vote in 2022? Is Jakhar the revival face BJP needs in Majha?
सुनील कुमार जाखड़, जो पंजाब में कांग्रेस और भाजपा दोनों के प्रदेश अध्यक्ष रह चुके इकलौते नेता हैं, बड़े राजनीतिक दांव-पेंचों के जानकार माने जाते हैं। 2025 में सक्रिय राजनीति में वापसी के बाद 2027 का बड़ा सवाल खड़ा है: क्या जाखड़ अपने मजबूत गढ़ अबोहर से ही चुनाव लड़ेंगे, जहां वह 2002 से 2017 तक लगातार तीन बार जीते या फिर वह गुरदासपुर से एक साहसिक वापसी की कोशिश करेंगे, वह सीट जिसे वह एक बार सांसद के रूप में जीत चुके हैं, लेकिन जहां 2022 में भाजपा के परमिंदर सिंह गिल महज 7.91% वोट ही ला सके थे? क्या जाखड़ माझा में भाजपा के लिए पुनर्जीवन का चेहरा बन सकते हैं?
Harjinder Singh Thekedar, once a veteran Congress MLA, managed just 1,566 votes in 2022 on a Punjab Lok Congress ticket. After PLC merged into BJP following Captain Amarinder Singh’s entry, Thekedar is now seen lauding BJP in Punjab. But after such a poor showing, should BJP really field him from this key seat, or is it a gamble that could backfire?
