Sanjiv Khanna, BJP’s candidate in Dera Bassi, got a modest share of votes in 2022, as AAP surged ahead and Akali Dal’s hold weakened. With BJP being a smaller player here historically,the big question for 2027 is, can Khanna and BJP increase their presence, or will Dera Bassi remain dominated by AAP and Congress rivals?
संजीव खन्ना, भाजपा के उम्मीदवार डेरा बस्सी से, 2022 में केवल मामूली वोट शेयर पा सके, क्योंकि AAP आगे बढ़ी और अकाली दल की पकड़ कमजोर हुई। भाजपा इस क्षेत्र में हमेशा से छोटी पार्टी रही है। 2027 के लिए बड़ा सवाल यह है, क्या संजीव खन्ना और भाजपा अपनी पकड़ बढ़ा पाएंगे या डेरा बस्सी AAP और कांग्रेस के मजबूत प्रतिद्वंद्वियों के कब्जे में रहेगा?
Gurpreet Singh Bhatti, once a founder-member of the now-defunct People’s Party of Punjab (PPP) who refused to merge with Congress and later joined the Aam Aadmi Party in 2016, eventually landed in the Bharatiya Janata Party and contested the 2022 election from Khanna but lost to Aam Aadmi Party. After switching from PPP to AAP to BJP within a decade, the question is: does Gurpreet Singh Bhatti represent evolving political conviction or shifting convenience?
