In your opinion, can this teacher-to-student ratio be considered sufficient to improve the quality of education?
Parupkar Singh Ghuman, the fresh face SAD fielded in the Ludhiana West 2025 bypoll, managed only 8,203 votes, finishing a distant fourth and losing his security deposit. Despite a clean image and professional background, he failed to connect with the urban electorate. With 2027 approaching, the key question is: Will SAD bet on Ghuman again, or does this result highlight deeper structural issues the party must resolve before the next election?
परोपकार सिंह घुम्मन, लुधियाना पश्चिम 2025 के उपचुनाव में शिरोमणि अकाली दल द्वारा मैदान में उतारा गया नया चेहरा, केवल 8,203 वोट लेकर चौथे स्थान पर रहे और अपनी ज़मानत भी गँवा बैठे। साफ-सुथरी छवि और पेशेवर पृष्ठभूमि के बावजूद वह शहरी मतदाताओं से जुड़ने में सफल नहीं हो सके। 2027 नजदीक आते हुए, सवाल यह है: क्या अकाली दल परोपकार सिंह घुम्मन पर फिर भरोसा करेगा या यह परिणाम पार्टी की गहरी संरचनात्मक समस्याओं को उजागर करता है, जिन्हें अगली चुनावी लड़ाई से पहले सुलझाना होगा?
Jagmeet Singh Brar, once a fiery student leader, two-time MP, former Congress Working Committee member, and later senior vice president of SAD, contested Maur in 2022 on an Akali ticket but finished third with 23,355 votes. After being expelled from SAD, he returned in 2024 with a non-political platform, the Punjab United Regional Forum. With 2027 nearing, the question is: does Jagmeet Singh Brar still have enough ground in Maur to contest again, or is another attempt too risky?
