In your opinion, can this teacher-to-student ratio be considered sufficient to improve the quality of education?
In 2022, when the Shiromani Akali Dal fought Raikot in alliance with the BSP, Balwinder Singh Sandhu was the alliance candidate and secured 8,381 votes (7.38%). Despite the joint banner, the result exposed how far the Akali vote had slipped in the constituency. Now appointed as constituency incharge of Raikot for the Shiromani Akali Dal, Sandhu has been given organisational responsibility at a time when the party is trying to make a comeback before 2027. Is Akali Dal rebuilding patiently through structure and loyalty or struggling to project a candidate who can actually convert ground work into votes ? And after the alliance experiment failed, will Akali Dal give Sandhu another chance in 2027 ?
2022 में जब शिरोमणि अकाली दल ने बसपा के साथ गठबंधन में रायकोट से चुनाव लड़ा, तब गठबंधन उम्मीदवार बलविंदर सिंह संधू को 8,381 वोट (7.38%) मिले। संयुक्त झंडे के बावजूद नतीजों ने साफ कर दिया कि इस क्षेत्र में अकाली वोट कितना कमजोर हो चुका है। अब शिरोमणि अकाली दल ने संधू को रायकोट का हलका इंचार्ज नियुक्त किया है, ऐसे समय में जब पार्टी 2027 से पहले वापसी की कोशिश कर रही है। सवाल सीधा है, क्या अकाली दल संगठन और वफादारी के सहारे धैर्य से पुनर्निर्माण कर रहा है या फिर ऐसे चेहरे की तलाश में है जो जमीनी मेहनत को वोटों में बदल सके ? और गठबंधन प्रयोग के असफल रहने के बाद, क्या 2027 में अकाली दल संधू को एक और मौका देगा ?
In 2022, Mohinder Kaur Josh was sidelined and the Shiromani Akali Dal chose to field Mohinder Singh Sandhar as part of its BSP alliance in Sham Chaurasi. The result was telling. Sandhar secured only 13,512 votes (11%), while Akali Dal’s traditional vote base appeared split and directionless.
