In our country, a Smart City mission was established to transform 100 cities into world-class cities, but its budget has been reduced from 8,000 crore Rupees to 2,400 crore Rupees
Ravi Karan Singh Kahlon, son of veteran Akali leader Nirmal Singh Kahlon, entered active politics with a strong legacy and was fielded by Akali Dal from Dera Baba Nanak in 2022, but faced defeat. Soon after, he made a major political shift by joining the BJP in 2024 and contested the by-election from the same seat, yet again facing a loss. With back-to-back defeats under two different parties and a shift in political alignment, questions now arise not just about his strategy, but about his ground strength. After switching parties and losing twice from the same seat, can Ravi Karan Singh Kahlon turn things around in 2027, or has the repeated setback already weakened his chances on the ground ?
रवि करण सिंह काहलों, वरिष्ठ अकाली नेता निर्मल सिंह काहलों के बेटे, ने मजबूत राजनीतिक विरासत के साथ राजनीति में कदम रखा और 2022 में डेरा बाबा नानक से अकाली दल के उम्मीदवार के रूप में चुनाव लड़ा, लेकिन हार का सामना करना पड़ा। इसके बाद उन्होंने 2024 में भाजपा जॉइन कर उसी सीट से उपचुनाव लड़ा, जहां उन्हें फिर हार मिली। लगातार दो अलग- अलग पार्टियों से हार और पार्टी बदलने के फैसले ने उनकी रणनीति और जमीनी पकड़ दोनों पर सवाल खड़े कर दिए हैं। दो बार एक ही सीट से हार और पार्टी बदलने के बाद, क्या रवि करण सिंह काहलों 2027 में वापसी कर पाएंगे, या ये लगातार झटके उनकी जमीन पर पकड़ को कमजोर कर चुके हैं ?
Jagmohan Singh Raju made a sharp shift from a long bureaucratic career into active politics in 2022 with the BJP, entering a high-profile contest from Amritsar East against established leaders but failing to secure a win. He was later appointed Punjab BJP General Secretary, but his resignation in 2025 due to internal differences raised further questions about his political journey. With a strong administrative background but a challenging start in politics, the key question is whether that experience can truly convert into ground-level support. After an electoral loss in 2022 and stepping down from a key party role, is Jagmohan Singh Raju still an emerging political face, or has his transition into politics exposed clear limitations ?
