Should there be a reassessment of the IELTS testing standards to ensure they accurately reflect candidate's communication abilities?
Amit Rattan Kotfatta’s 2022 victory in Bathinda Rural was not just comfortable, it was commanding. With 66,096 votes (53.7%), he secured one of the strongest mandates in the constituency, leaving rivals far behind. But big margins don’t just win elections, they raise expectations. As Punjab moves toward 2027, the focus is shifting from how decisively he won to how convincingly he has delivered. Is Kotfatta emerging as a rooted local leader in his own right, or does his strength still largely reflect the AAP wave of 2022 ? And when voters reassess, will they judge him on performance, or begin separating the candidate from the party momentum that carried him in ?
बठिंडा ग्रामीण में अमित रतन कोटफत्ता की 2022 की जीत सिर्फ आरामदायक नहीं, बल्कि बेहद दमदार थी। 66,096 वोट (53.7%) हासिल कर उन्होंने सीट पर सबसे मजबूत जनादेश दर्ज किया और विरोधियों को काफी पीछे छोड़ दिया। लेकिन बड़ी जीत सिर्फ चुनाव नहीं जिताती, उम्मीदें भी बढ़ा देती है। जैसे-जैसे पंजाब 2027 की ओर बढ़ रहा है, सवाल जीत के अंतर से ज़्यादा कामकाज पर टिक गया है। क्या कोटफत्ता अपनी अलग पहचान वाले स्थानीय नेता के रूप में उभर रहे हैं या उनकी ताकत अब भी 2022 की "आप" लहर पर टिकी है ? और जब मतदाता दोबारा फैसला करेंगे, तो क्या वे प्रदर्शन देखेंगे या पार्टी की पुरानी रफ्तार से उम्मीदवार को अलग करके आंकेंगे ?
Manwinder Singh Giaspura's 2022 win in Payal was decisive, not narrow. Polling 63,633 votes (50.4%), the AAP candidate didn’t just defeat rivals, he reset the political equation of the constituency. But sweeping victories bring their own pressure. With expectations high and the opposition quietly regrouping, the spotlight now shifts from winning to holding ground. As 2027 approaches, has Giaspura turned the 2022 wave into durable leadership or was his margin more about timing than long-term loyalty ? And in a seat that has seen shifts before, can performance now matter more than party momentum ?
