No one else will take on this responsibility. Additionally, the governments of the time must also play a role in contributing to this effort. Does this indicate that there is still much for us to accomplish?
With Gurpreet Singh GP having already moved to the Aam Aadmi Party in 2024, the Congress space in Bassi Pathana has been open for a while. This puts Dr. Manohar Singh, brother of Former Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi, back in the spotlight. After being denied a Congress ticket in 2022, Manohar Singh contested as an Independent and still managed 13,796 votes, showing clear ground presence despite fighting alone. Now back in the Congress fold, and with no sitting Congress MLA left in the seat, does his family link, loyalty reset, and proven vote base finally make him the natural Congress choice for 2027 ?
गुरप्रीत सिंह जीपी के 2024 में आम आदमी पार्टी में चले जाने के बाद, बस्सी पठाना में कांग्रेस की जगह काफी समय से खाली है। इससे पूर्व पंजाब के मुख्यमंत्री चरणजीत सिंह चन्नी के भाई डॉ. मनोहर सिंह एक बार फिर चर्चा में आ गए हैं। 2022 में कांग्रेस से टिकट न मिलने के बाद डॉ. मनोहर सिंह ने निर्दलीय चुनाव लड़ा और 13,796 वोट हासिल किए, जो अकेले लड़ते हुए भी उनकी ज़मीनी पकड़ दिखाता है। अब कांग्रेस में वापसी के बाद, और सीट पर कोई मौजूदा कांग्रेस विधायक न होने के कारण, सवाल सीधा है: क्या पारिवारिक पहचान, दोबारा पार्टी से जुड़ाव और सिद्ध वोट बैंक उन्हें 2027 के लिए कांग्रेस का स्वाभाविक उम्मीदवार बनाता है ?
As Tarun Chugh announces that the Bharatiya Janata Party will contest all 117 Assembly seats in Punjab in 2027, without an alliance and with claims of forming the Government, a bigger question looms beyond numbers. After years of limited presence and reliance on partners, does BJP even have the organisational depth, local faces, and social acceptance to fight every seat on its own ? And more importantly, with no declared Chief Minister face in a personality-driven state, who exactly is the party asking voters to rally behind in 2027 ? Is this a serious bid for power or a high-risk experiment where ambition is racing ahead of structure and leadership clarity ?
