Gurpreet Singh Raju Khanna fought hard for Amloh in 2017 and 2022 as SAD’s candidate, but both times he came up short. He has the experience and a familiar face, yet converting that into votes has been a challenge while rivals like AAP surged ahead. With 2027 approaching, SAD has a dilemma: back Gurpreet Singh Raju Khanna again and hope his ground-level connection improves or take a chance on a fresh face to energise voters? His story is one of persistence, but winning will need more than just a name, it needs trust and real work with people.
गुरप्रीत सिंह राजू खन्ना ने 2017 और 2022 में अमलोह से अकाली दल के लिए संघर्ष किया लेकिन दोनों बार हार का सामना करना पड़ा। उनके पास अनुभव और पहचान है, फिर भी उसे वोटों में बदलना मुश्किल रहा क्योंकि AAP आगे बढ़ गई। 2027 के नजदीक आते हुए, अकाली दल के सामने सवाल यह है: क्या गुरप्रीत सिंह राजू खन्ना पर भरोसा करे और उम्मीद करे कि जमीन से जुड़ाव मजबूत होगा या नया चेहरा आज़माए जो मतदाताओं में जोश लाए? यह कहानी लगातार कोशिश की है लेकिन जीत के लिए सिर्फ नाम नहीं, भरोसा और मेहनत भी जरूरी है।
