After serving as a Congress MLA from Bassi Pathana (2017–2022), Gurpreet Singh GP lost the Assembly election in 2022, quit the Congress in March 2024, joined the Aam Aadmi Party, and then went on to lose the 2024 Lok Sabha election from Fatehgarh Sahib to Congress MP Amar Singh by over 34,000 votes. Yet, instead of fading away, GP has since been elevated as AAP’s Punjab state president of the SC wing, placing him firmly within the party’s organisational core as 2027 approaches. Does Gurpreet Singh GP’s journey show that in today’s Punjab politics, past MLA credentials and timely party shifts can matter more than recent electoral defeats or will 2027 decide whether organisational power can truly replace voter verdicts ?
2017–2022 तक बस्सी पठाना से कांग्रेस विधायक रहने के बाद, गुरप्रीत सिंह जी.पी. 2022 का विधानसभा चुनाव हार गए। मार्च 2024 में उन्होंने कांग्रेस छोड़ी, आम आदमी पार्टी में शामिल हुए, और फिर 2024 का फतेहगढ़ साहिब लोकसभा चुनाव कांग्रेस सांसद अमर सिंह से 34,000 से ज्यादा वोटों से हार गए। इसके बावजूद, राजनीति से गायब होने के बजाय, जी.पी. को "आप" की पंजाब राज्य एस.सी. विंग का अध्यक्ष बना दिया गया, जिससे 2027 से पहले वे पार्टी के संगठनात्मक केंद्र में आ गए हैं। क्या गुरप्रीत सिंह जी.पी. की यह यात्रा दिखाती है कि आज की पंजाब राजनीति में पुराना विधायक अनुभव और सही समय पर पार्टी बदलना, हालिया चुनावी हार से ज्यादा मायने रखता है या फिर 2027 यह तय करेगा कि संगठन की ताकत सच में जनता के फैसले की जगह ले सकती है ?
When Joginder Singh Mann quit the Congress in 2022, just weeks before the Punjab elections, it wasn’t a routine exit but a political earthquake. A five- decade loyalist walking out at the most crucial moment signals more than personal anger, it points to a collapse of internal trust. In Punjab’s family-driven politics, such veterans don’t leave alone; they take with them generations of loyalty, social capital, and future leadership that often follows the elder’s call. When senior leaders like Joginder Singh Mann walk away right before elections, does it expose a deeper failure of party functioning, where even lifelong loyalty is no longer enough to keep leaders, their families, and their political legacy invested ?
