क्या आप मानते हैं कि केंद्र को मुफ्त राशन वितरण के साथ-साथ रोज़गार सृजन पर भी ध्यान केंद्रित करना चाहिए जो दीर्घकालिक आर्थिक स्थिरता और सामाजिक कल्याण के लिए एक अच्छा उपाय हो सकता है?
Mantar Singh Brar has remained one of the most familiar names in Kotkapura politics, winning multiple times and holding important organisational roles within the Shiromani Akali Dal. His long presence gives him experience, recognition, and an old support base in the constituency. However, the political reality of 2027 looks tougher than before, as Kultar Singh Sandhwan has held the seat for two straight terms and built incumbency advantage under the Aam Aadmi Party government. That means Mantar Singh Brar would not just be fighting an election, but trying to reclaim ground that has shifted over time. Can Mantar Singh Brar stage a comeback in Kotkapura against a two-term sitting MLA, or has the constituency moved too far from its old Akali patterns ?
मनतार सिंह बराड़ लंबे समय से कोटकपूरा की राजनीति का जाना-पहचाना नाम रहे हैं। वह कई बार चुनाव जीत चुके हैं और शिरोमणि अकाली दल में अहम संगठनात्मक भूमिकाएँ भी निभा चुके हैं। उनकी लंबी मौजूदगी उन्हें अनुभव, पहचान और पुराना समर्थन आधार देती है। लेकिन 2027 की राजनीतिक स्थिति पहले से ज्यादा कठिन दिख रही है, क्योंकि कुलतार सिंह संधवां लगातार दो बार सीट जीत चुके हैं और आम आदमी पार्टी सरकार के तहत मजबूत पकड़ बना चुके हैं। इसका मतलब मनतार सिंह बराड़ सिर्फ चुनाव नहीं लड़ेंगे, बल्कि बदली हुई ज़मीन वापस लेने की कोशिश करेंगे। क्या मनतार सिंह बराड़ कोटकपूरा में दो बार के मौजूदा विधायक कुलतार सिंह संधवां के खिलाफ वापसी कर पाएंगे, या हलका पुराने अकाली दौर से आगे बढ़ चुका है ?
Iqbal Singh Jhundan has had a long journey in Akali politics, winning twice as MLA from Dhuri and Amargarh, while remaining a senior face in the Panthic political space for years. Even after losing the 2022 Assembly election, he was trusted with the Sangrur Lok Sabha ticket in 2024, showing that his experience still carried weight. However, another defeat followed, and he later moved toward leaders seeking a different direction in Akali politics. With little sign of any reunion between the Shiromani Akali Dal and the Punar Surjit camp, the Panthic space may head into 2027 more divided than united. The real question now is whether Iqbal Singh Jhundan can still play a serious role in 2027 by rebuilding support in a fractured Akali landscape, or whether split politics will leave veterans like him without enough space to matter electorally. Can experience still find value in divided times, or will separate camps only weaken old Akali faces further ?
