Rupinder Singh Raja Gill was Congress’s candidate from Samrala in 2022, backed by a strong political lineage, but his performance fell short as he finished third with around 23,000 votes while AAP swept the seat. With Congress still struggling to regain ground in Samrala and 2027 slowly coming into focus, the question returns: Will the party give Rupinder Singh Raja Gill another chance despite the 2022 result or is Congress finally ready to look beyond legacy for a candidate who can seriously challenge AAP ?
रुपिंदर सिंह राजा गिल 2022 में समराला से कांग्रेस के उम्मीदवार थे। मज़बूत राजनीतिक विरासत के बावजूद उनका प्रदर्शन उम्मीदों पर खरा नहीं उतर सका और वे करीब 23,000 वोटों के साथ तीसरे स्थान पर रहे, जबकि आम आदमी पार्टी ने सीट पर कब्ज़ा कर लिया। अब जब कांग्रेस समराला में अपनी ज़मीन वापस पाने के लिए संघर्ष कर रही है और 2027 नज़दीक आ रहा है, तो सवाल फिर खड़ा होता है: क्या पार्टी 2022 के नतीजे के बावजूद राजा गिल को दोबारा मौका देगी या अब विरासत से आगे बढ़ कर किसी ऐसे चेहरे को चुनेगी जो AAP को कड़ी चुनौती दे सके ?
Arun Dogra is not a new face in Dasua politics. He was elected as the Congress MLA from Dasua in 2017, giving him experience and a direct connect with the constituency. However, in the 2022 Assembly elections, he finished second, losing to AAP’s Karambir Singh Ghumman as the vote split across multiple parties. With Congress trying to regain lost ground and 2027 slowly coming into view, the question is clear: Does Arun Dogra’s 2017 win still carry weight in today’s Dasua or has the political landscape moved on ?
