Former AAP minister and Patti MLA, Laljit Singh Bhullar has announced that he will not contest the 2027 Assembly elections. Currently in jail in connection with the death of warehouse official Gagandeep Singh Randhawa, Bhullar says Patti residents wanted him to contest again.

आम आदमी पार्टी के पूर्व मंत्री और पट्टी के विधायक लालजीत सिंह भुल्लर ने 2027 के विधानसभा चुनाव नहीं लड़ने का ऐलान किया है। वे फिलहाल वेयरहाउस अधिकारी गगनदीप सिंह रंधावा की मौत के मामले में जेल में हैं। भुल्लर का कहना है कि पट्टी के लोग चाहते थे कि वे दोबारा चुनाव लड़ें। हालांकि, आम आदमी पार्टी ने पहले ही जसकंवर सिंह को पट्टी विधानसभा क्षेत्र का प्रभारी नियुक्त कर दिया है। भुल्लर के चुनाव से पीछे हटने और नए चेहरे को जिम्मेदारी मिलने के बाद क्या पट्टी आम आदमी पार्टी के लिए स्थानीय लोकप्रियता और राजनीतिक जवाबदेही के बीच संतुलन बनाने की परीक्षा बन रहा है ?

But with leaders switching sides, promises facing delays and questions over Delhi’s control, has the party lost the very political space it once promised to transform ?
