With the Supreme Court's recent directive for mandatory accessibility rules, can India overcome these barriers and ensure true inclusion for persons with disabilities?
Sangat Singh Gilzian once stood as Congress’s strongest face in Urmar Tanda, winning twice and building the image of a dependable local leader. But politics moved sharply in recent years, and despite experience and name recall, he could not hold the seat. Setbacks can either signal unfinished strength or the start of decline. As 2027 approaches, the real question is whether Sangat Singh Gilzian’s two-term legacy still holds enough weight to power one more comeback in Urmar, or whether voters now see him as part of an earlier chapter. Is Gilzian still Congress’s safest bet there, or a veteran whose best opening has already passed ?
संगत सिंह गिलजियां कभी उड़मुड़ टांडा में कांग्रेस का सबसे मजबूत चेहरा माने जाते थे। दो बार जीतकर उन्होंने एक भरोसेमंद स्थानीय नेता की छवि बनाई। लेकिन हाल के वर्षों में राजनीति तेज़ी से बदली और अनुभव व पहचान होने के बावजूद वे सीट नहीं बचा सके। हार कभी अधूरी ताकत का संकेत होती है, तो कभी गिरावट की शुरुआत। 2027 के करीब आते हुए असली सवाल यह है कि क्या संगत सिंह गिलजियां की दो कार्यकाल वाली विरासत अभी भी उड़मुड़ में एक और वापसी करा सकती है, या मतदाता अब उन्हें पुराने दौर का हिस्सा मान चुके हैं। क्या गिलजियां अब भी कांग्रेस की सबसे सुरक्षित पसंद हैं, या एक अनुभवी नेता जिनका सबसे अच्छा मौका निकल चुका है ?
Chaudhary Surinder Singh carries one of Jalandhar’s strongest Congress political legacies, rising from village-level leadership to MLA from Kartarpur in 2017 before losing in 2022. With deep roots, family recognition, and decades of organisational experience, he remains a known figure in the constituency even after defeat. But in modern Punjab politics, legacy alone no longer guarantees revival. As 2027 approaches, the real question is whether Congress still sees Chaudhary Surinder Singh as the right face to reclaim Kartarpur, or whether the party now needs a younger and sharper challenger to reconnect with changing voters. Is he a seasoned comeback candidate, or a respected name from an earlier chapter ?
