Kuldeep Singh Lubana contested Jalandhar North in 2022 as the SAD–BSP candidate, but the seat once again slipped away from the Akali Dal. Soon after, Lubana himself moved on and joined the Aam Aadmi Party, leaving the Akali camp thinner than before. With Jalandhar North historically swinging between Congress and BJP, and Akali Dal failing to crack it for years, the exit of even its alliance candidate is notable. As 2027 approaches, does the Shiromani Akali Dal even have a credible face left for Jalandhar North or has the constituency effectively moved out of Akali reach altogether ?
जालंधर उत्तर में 2022 के चुनाव में कुलदीप सिंह लुबाना ने शिरोमणि अकाली दल–बसपा के संयुक्त उम्मीदवार के रूप में चुनाव लड़ा, लेकिन सीट एक बार फिर अकाली दल के हाथ से निकल गई। इसके कुछ समय बाद ही लुबाना ने खुद आम आदमी पार्टी का दामन थाम लिया, जिससे अकाली खेमे को और झटका लगा। हकीकत यह है कि जालंधर उत्तर में लंबे समय से मुकाबला कांग्रेस और भाजपा के बीच ही रहा है, जबकि अकाली दल इस सीट को लगातार जीतने में असफल रहा है। अब जब गठबंधन का उम्मीदवार भी पार्टी छोड़ चुका है, तो 2027 को लेकर सवाल और गहरे हो गए हैं। तो सवाल यह है, क्या शिरोमणि अकाली दल के पास जालंधर उत्तर के लिए अब कोई भरोसेमंद चेहरा बचा भी है या यह सीट पूरी तरह अकाली राजनीति की पहुंच से बाहर निकल चुकी है ?
Baljit Singh Jalalusma was announced by Sukhbir Singh Badal as the Shiromani Akali Dal candidate from Baba Bakala in 2022 after internal disagreements in the party were settled. A former SGPC member and Ex-MLA, Jalalusma had the backing of the top leadership, but still finished behind AAP and Congress. So looking ahead to 2027, the real question is, does Baljit Singh Jalalusma remain Akali Dal’s best bet in Baba Bakala or did the 2022 result show that leadership backing alone is no longer enough to win this seat ?
