Having worked through student politics and organisational roles, former NSUI Chandigarh president Gurjot Sandhu was actively involved in campaign work during previous Assembly elections, supporting senior Congress candidates at the ground level. As the Punjab Congress now looks toward 2027 and talks of bringing in younger faces, the question is whether long-time youth organisers who have worked behind the scenes will finally move from campaign roles to electoral politics. After years of working on the ground, should grassroots organisers like Gurjot Sandhu be given tickets as Congress considers new faces for 2027 or will youth leaders continue to remain campaign managers rather than candidates ?
छात्र राजनीति और संगठनात्मक भूमिकाओं से आगे बढ़ते हुए, चंडीगढ़ एन.एस.यू.आई. के पूर्व अध्यक्ष गुरजोत संधू लंबे समय से जमीनी स्तर पर सक्रिय रहे हैं और विधानसभा चुनावों में वरिष्ठ कांग्रेस उम्मीदवारों के लिए अभियान प्रबंधन में भूमिका निभाते रहे हैं। अब जब पंजाब कांग्रेस 2027 की ओर बढ़ते हुए युवा चेहरों को आगे लाने की बात कर रही है, सवाल यह है कि क्या पर्दे के पीछे काम करने वाले ऐसे युवा कार्यकर्ताओं को अब चुनावी मौका मिलेगा। सालों तक संगठन और जमीनी काम करने के बाद, क्या गुरजोत संधू जैसे कार्यकर्ताओं को 2027 में टिकट मिलना चाहिए या युवा नेता आगे भी केवल अभियान प्रबंधन तक ही सीमित रहेंगे ?
From her days in student politics at Panjab University to contesting the 2017 Assembly election from Sunam on a Congress ticket, Daaman Thind Bajwa has projected herself as a young political face. After being denied the Congress ticket in 2022, she briefly filed as an Independent, withdrew later, and joined the BJP. It marks a significant shift as parties prepare for the 2027 Assembly elections. From campus activism to changing political platforms, is Daaman Thind Bajwa steadily building her long-term space as a young leader or do repeated ticket battles and party shifts reflect the search for the right political ground ahead of 2027 ?
