Amritpal Singh won the Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha seat in 2024 while in jail, showing that his absence from the campaign did not stop voters from backing him. As the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections approach, questions remain about the political future of Waris Punjab De and whether this support can last. Amritpal Singh won from behind bars in 2024. Can he repeat the feat in Punjab’s 2027 Assembly elections or will the support for Waris Punjab De face its biggest test when voters judge more than a symbol of protest ?
अमृतपाल सिंह ने 2024 में जेल में रहते हुए खडूर साहिब लोकसभा सीट जीती थी। इससे पता चला कि चुनाव प्रचार में उनकी गैरमौजूदगी भी मतदाताओं को उनका समर्थन करने से नहीं रोक सकी। अब 2027 के पंजाब विधानसभा चुनावों से पहले, ‘वारिस पंजाब दे’ के राजनीतिक भविष्य और इस समर्थन के टिके रहने पर सवाल उठ रहे हैं। अमृतपाल सिंह ने 2024 में सलाखों के पीछे रहते हुए जीत हासिल की थी। क्या वह 2027 के पंजाब विधानसभा चुनावों में फिर ऐसा कर पाएंगे या ‘वारिस पंजाब दे’ के समर्थन की सबसे बड़ी परीक्षा तब होगी, जब मतदाता विरोध के प्रतीक से आगे बढ़कर नेतृत्व और जनप्रतिनिधित्व को परखेंगे ?
Sukhbir Singh Badal will launch a three-phase yatra on November 10, covering all Punjab Assembly constituencies. Beginning at major religious sites, the campaign aims to revive the Shiromani Akali Dal’s Panthic identity, reconnect with grassroots workers and rebuild the party’s support ahead of 2027. Sukhbir Badal is taking the Shiromani Akali Dal on a statewide yatra to reconnect with Punjab’s people. But can religious symbolism and roadshows restore public trust after the party’s electoral setbacks or is this mainly a bid to revive its fortunes before 2027 ? Is this a Panthic revival or a political comeback tour ?
