After winning Sham Chaurasi as a Congress MLA in 2017, Pawan Kumar Adia entered the 2022 contest with incumbency experience and local recognition. Yet he finished second with 39,374 votes (32%), falling far behind AAP’s Dr. Ravjot Singh, who secured a near-majority. The reversal marked a sharp shift for a sitting MLA who once held the seat.
2017 में कांग्रेस के विधायक के रूप में शाम चौरासी से जीत दर्ज करने के बाद पवन कुमार आदिया 2022 के चुनाव में अनुभव और स्थानीय पहचान के साथ उतरे। लेकिन उन्हें 39,374 वोट (32%) मिले और वे आम आदमी पार्टी के डॉ. रवजोत सिंह से काफी पीछे रह गए, जिन्हें लगभग आधे मत मिले। यह हार एक ऐसे मौजूदा विधायक के लिए बड़ा बदलाव थी, जिसने कभी इस सीट पर पकड़ बनाई थी।
After serving as MLA from Tanda Urmar in 2012 and 2017, Sangat Singh Gilzian entered the 2022 contest with experience and name recognition, yet fell short with 38,386 votes (30.9%), narrowly losing to AAP’s Jasvir Singh Raja Gill. The defeat marked a turning point for a leader once considered Congress’s mainstay in the constituency. As 2027 approaches, does Gilzian’s two-term legacy still carry weight in Tanda Urmar or has the political mood shifted beyond familiar faces ? And after coming so close, will Congress back him again or read the result as a sign to rethink its strategy ?
