In your opinion, is the college-to-university ratio adequate, or has it become a business trend to open universities so rapidly?
Lehra has repeatedly changed its political choice, and Congress now faces a key question about whether legacy still holds value in a fast-changing constituency. Rahulinder Singh Sidhu, son of former Chief Minister Bibi Rajinder Kaur Bhattal, carries one of the best-known political surnames in the area. But in a seat where voters have shifted choices election after election, family history alone may not be enough. As 2027 approaches, can Rahulinder Singh Sidhu convert the Bhattal legacy into fresh support, or has Lehra moved beyond emotional loyalty toward new leadership ? Is he Congress’s natural revival face, or a familiar name from another era ?
लहरा ने बार-बार अपनी राजनीतिक पसंद बदली है, और अब कांग्रेस के सामने बड़ा सवाल है कि क्या बदलते हुए इस क्षेत्र में विरासत अभी भी असर रखती है। राहुलइंदर सिंह सिद्धू, पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री बीबी राजिंदर कौर भट्ठल के बेटे, इलाके के सबसे चर्चित राजनीतिक नामों में से एक हैं। लेकिन जिस सीट पर मतदाता हर चुनाव में रुख बदलते रहे हों, वहां सिर्फ पारिवारिक इतिहास काफी नहीं हो सकता। 2027 नज़दीक आते हुए क्या राहुलइंदर सिंह सिद्धू भट्ठल परिवार की विरासत को नए समर्थन में बदल पाएंगे, या लहरा अब भावनात्मक निष्ठा से आगे बढ़कर नई नेतृत्व शैली चाहता है ? क्या वह कांग्रेस का स्वाभाविक पुनर्जीवन चेहरा हैं, या बीते दौर का एक जाना-पहचाना नाम ?
Karan Kaur Brar once carried strong political weight in Sri Muktsar Sahib, winning the seat in 2012 and representing one of the best-known Congress families in the region. But after defeats in both 2017 and 2022, the political equation has clearly changed, with newer contenders and shifting voter loyalties reshaping the battlefield. As Punjab moves toward 2027, the real question inside Congress is whether the party will once again trust experience, legacy, and name recall by fielding Karan Kaur Brar, or whether it will decide that Muktsar now needs a fresh face to stay competitive. Is she still Congress’s safest choice, or has the time come for a generational reset in Sri Muktsar Sahib ?
