The growing restlessness and mindless living among the youth should be addressed in an organized manner and not left arbitrarily to their own decision, which would prove fatal for the state.
Kulwant Singh Keetu carries a recognised political legacy in Barnala as the son of former two-time MLA Malkit Singh Keetu, and has remained an active face in local politics for years. He was the Shiromani Akali Dal candidate from Barnala in 2022, but could not win the seat. Even after that setback, his continued political activity has kept him in discussion. As 2027 approaches, the key question is: will Sukhbir Singh Badal and Shiromani Akali Dal place their trust in Kulwant Singh Keetu once again for Barnala, or will the party now look for a fresh face to change its fortunes ? Is Barnala still his strongest opportunity, or is Shiromani Akali Dal preparing a new strategy this time ?
कुलवंत सिंह कीटू बरनाला में एक पहचानी हुई राजनीतिक विरासत रखते हैं, क्योंकि वह पूर्व के दो बार के विधायक मलकीत सिंह कीटू के बेटे हैं और कई वर्षों से स्थानीय राजनीति में सक्रिय चेहरा बने हुए हैं। वह 2022 में बरनाला से शिरोमणि अकाली दल के उम्मीदवार थे, लेकिन सीट जीत नहीं सके। उस हार के बाद भी उनकी लगातार राजनीतिक सक्रियता ने उन्हें चर्चा में बनाए रखा है। 2027 नज़दीक आते ही बड़ा सवाल यह है: क्या सुखबीर सिंह बादल और शिरोमणि अकाली दल एक बार फिर बरनाला से कुलवंत सिंह कीटू पर भरोसा करेंगे, या पार्टी अब अपनी किस्मत बदलने के लिए नया चेहरा तलाशेगी ? क्या बरनाला अब भी उनका सबसे मजबूत मौका है, या शिरोमणि अकाली दल इस बार नई रणनीति बना रहा है ?
Prem Kumar Arora was the 2022 Shiromani Akali Dal candidate in Mansa and has now been declared again early for 2027, showing that Shiromani Akali Dal is sticking with a familiar face. With questions around Vijay Singla’s credibility and Congress yet to project a strong challenger, the contest may be opening up once again. Has Akali Dal made the right bet by backing Prem Kumar Arora early, or does Mansa still need a stronger game-changer to win ?
