Rajinder Pal Kaur Chhina didn’t just win in Ludhiana South in 2022, she emerged as the clear choice with 43,811 votes (41.56%), ending years of personality-driven politics on the seat. But a big win also brings bigger scrutiny. With expectations rising and governance now under the spotlight, will Chhina be judged as a strong local MLA in her own right or mainly as a beneficiary of the 2022 AAP wave ? As 2027 approaches, can performance hold what momentum delivered ?
लुधियाना दक्षिण में 2022 में राजिंदर पाल कौर छीना ने सिर्फ जीत हासिल नहीं की, बल्कि 43,811 वोट (41.56%) लेकर वह सीट की स्पष्ट पसंद बन कर उभरीं। इससे इस सीट पर वर्षों से चल रही व्यक्तित्व-आधारित राजनीति को भी झटका लगा। लेकिन बड़ी जीत के साथ बड़ी जांच भी आती है। बढ़ती उम्मीदों और शासन के दबाव के बीच, क्या छीना को एक मजबूत स्थानीय विधायक के रूप में आंका जाएगा या फिर उन्हें सिर्फ 2022 की आम आदमी पार्टी की लहर का लाभार्थी माना जाएगा ? 2027 के करीब आते ही सवाल यह है कि क्या कामकाज उस गति को संभाल पाएगा, जो लहर ने दी थी ?
Manjit Singh Bilaspur’s 2022 win in Nihal Singh Wala gave AAP a clear edge, but it also shifted all responsibility onto the ruling side. With Congress weak and Akali votes split, Bilaspur now faces a new challenge, governing without a strong opposition to blame. When roads, jobs, drugs, and law-and-order issues persist, voters look straight at the MLA, not the party slogans. As 2027 comes closer, will Bilaspur benefit from being the undisputed centre of power in the seat or will the absence of a clear rival turn public anger directly toward him ?
