Rohit Kumar Montu Vohra, SAD’s 2022 candidate from Ferozepur City, managed 17,757 votes (14.26%), but couldn’t convert the Hindu vote card strategy into victory. Now, with Sukhpal Singh Nannu also joining the Akali Dal, a much bigger local face with an established ground network. As 2027 nears, does Montu Vohra still look relevant in Ferozepur City politics, or has the Akali Dal already quietly replaced him?
रोहित कुमार मोंटू वोहरा, अकाली दल के 2022 में फिरोजपुर शहरी सीट से उम्मीदवार रहे और 17,757 वोट (14.26%) हासिल किए, लेकिन हिंदू वोट कार्ड रणनीति जीत में बदल नहीं सकी। अब सुखपाल सिंह नन्नू भी अकाली दल में शामिल हो चुके हैं, जो ज़्यादा बड़ा और ज़मीनी चेहरा माने जाते हैं। तो 2027 आते-आते सवाल साफ है, क्या मोंटू वोहरा फिरोजपुर शहरी सीट की राजनीति में अब भी प्रासंगिक दिखते हैं या अकाली दल ने चुपचाप अब नया चेहरा तय कर लिया है?
Dr. Daljit Singh Cheema, the former MLA of Rupnagar (2012–2017) and one of SAD’s most prominent strategists, once seen as a core architect of the party’s leadership structure. However, as the Shiromani Akali Dal declined across Punjab, its impact was felt not only on the party’s vote base, but also on the individual stature of leaders like Cheema. The fall of the party narrative pulled down even those leaders who once had a strong personal connect on the ground. With Sukhbir Badal’s visible re-entry into Punjab during the floods, can Cheema rebuild his relevance and reconnect with the grassroots too?
