Kanwarjit Singh Rozy Barkandi rose as an important Akali face in Sri Muktsar Sahib when he won the seat in 2017 and served as MLA till 2022. During his tenure, he remained active on constituency matters and carried the responsibility of representing one of Malwa’s politically aware regions. However, his defeat in 2022 showed how quickly Punjab politics can shift, even for sitting legislators with visibility and experience. As 2027 approaches, the key question is whether Kanwarjit Singh Rozy Barkandi can rebuild enough ground support to reclaim Sri Muktsar Sahib, or whether voters have already moved toward a new political direction. Can a former MLA turn experience into comeback energy, or was 2017 the peak of his electoral journey ?
कंवरजीत सिंह रोज़ी बरकंदी श्री मुक्तसर साहिब में एक अहम अकाली चेहरा बनकर उभरे थे, जब उन्होंने 2017 में सीट जीती और 2022 तक विधायक रहे। अपने कार्यकाल के दौरान वह हलके के मुद्दों पर सक्रिय रहे और मालवा के राजनीतिक रूप से जागरूक क्षेत्र का प्रतिनिधित्व किया। लेकिन 2022 की हार ने दिखाया कि पंजाब की राजनीति कितनी तेजी से बदल सकती है, चाहे नेता के पास पहचान और अनुभव ही क्यों न हो। अब 2027 के करीब सवाल यह है कि क्या कंवरजीत सिंह रोज़ी बरकंदी दोबारा इतना जनसमर्थन जुटा पाएंगे कि श्री मुक्तसर साहिब सीट वापस जीत सकें, या मतदाता नई राजनीतिक दिशा की ओर बढ़ चुके हैं। क्या एक पूर्व विधायक अनुभव को वापसी की ताकत बना सकता है, या 2017 ही उनकी चुनावी यात्रा का शिखर था ?
Gaganjit Singh Barnala carries one of Punjab’s most recognized political surnames as the son of former Chief Minister Surjit Singh Barnala. A former MLA from Dhuri, Gaganjit Singh Barnala has remained active through different Akali formations and has also seen phases where the family felt sidelined in ticket politics, showing that legacy alone does not always guarantee space in modern Punjab politics. Now being part of Akali Dal Punar Surjit, Gaganjit Singh Barnala has again re-entered a divided Panthic landscape. The real question now is whether Gaganjit Singh Barnala can convert family legacy, old networks, and renewed political positioning into a serious 2027 comeback, or whether Punjab politics has moved beyond surnames and sentiment. Is Gaganjit Singh Barnala still an electoral asset, or mainly a respected reminder of another political era ?
