After an unsuccessful Assembly debut from Patiala (Rural) in 2022, Mohit Mohindra, son of veteran Congress leader Brahm Mohindra, now heads the Punjab Youth Congress. The post gives him visibility, access, and a chance to shape the party’s next generation as Congress looks toward 2027. But electoral success still trails the family legacy. Is Mohit Mohindra’s rise as Youth Congress chief a genuine launchpad to rebuild credibility and prepare for 2027 or does it risk reinforcing the perception of inherited leadership without grassroots proof before the next big election ?
पटियाला (ग्रामीण) से 2022 के विधानसभा चुनाव में हार के बाद, वरिष्ठ कांग्रेस नेता ब्रह्म मोहिंद्रा के बेटे मोहित मोहिंद्रा अब पंजाब यूथ कांग्रेस के अध्यक्ष हैं। यह पद उन्हें पहचान, पहुंच और कांग्रेस की अगली पीढ़ी को आकार देने का मौका देता है, खासकर जब पार्टी 2027 की तैयारी कर रही है। लेकिन चुनावी सफलता अभी भी पारिवारिक विरासत से पीछे है। क्या मोहित मोहिंद्रा का यूथ कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष बनना 2027 से पहले अपनी राजनीतिक विश्वसनीयता दोबारा बनाने का सही मंच है या फिर यह जमीनी सबूत के बिना विरासत की राजनीति की धारणा को और मजबूत करेगा ?
Son of former Punjab Chief Minister Rajinder Kaur Bhattal, Rahul Inder Singh Sidhu is increasingly visible in the Lehragaga constituency and is often spoken of as a youth face within the Punjab Congress. His presence on the ground signals ambition, but questions remain about direction and depth. At a time when Punjab is grappling with serious issues, farm stress, youth unemployment, drugs, and political distrust, does a flamboyant attitude really help a young leader appear credible ? Style may draw attention, but politics in Punjab has rarely rewarded optics without substance. The dilemma deepens as Bhattal herself has begun making sharp and controversial public statements, reopening old debates within Congress. In that shadow, does Rahul Inder get space to grow or does the baggage of legacy start weighing heavier than the benefits ? So, where does Rahul Inder Singh Sidhu really stand in Congress ?
