In your opinion, can this teacher-to-student ratio be considered sufficient to improve the quality of education?
Balwinder Singh Bains was once a major force in Ludhiana South, winning back-to-back elections in 2012 and 2017 and building a strong anti-establishment image with the Bains brothers. For a decade, he proved regional politics could challenge bigger parties. But the 2022 defeat and later shift to Congress changed that story sharply. Politics allows reinvention, yet voters also remember who once stood against the old system.
बलविंदर सिंह बैंस कभी लुधियाना दक्षिण की बड़ी ताकत माने जाते थे। उन्होंने 2012 और 2017 में लगातार जीत दर्ज की और बैंस भाइयों के साथ एक मजबूत सत्ता-विरोधी छवि बनाई। एक दशक तक उन्होंने दिखाया कि क्षेत्रीय राजनीति भी बड़ी पार्टियों को चुनौती दे सकती है। लेकिन 2022 की हार और बाद में कांग्रेस में शामिल होने से यह कहानी बदल गई। राजनीति दोबारा मौका देती है, मगर मतदाता यह भी याद रखते हैं कि कौन कभी पुराने सिस्टम के खिलाफ खड़ा था।
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 ?
