Ranjit Singh Brahmpura, Majhe Da Jarnail, was a four-time MLA, two-time Cabinet Minister and the 2014 MP from Khadur Sahib, a leader whose authority came from decades of ground politics, not just party position. After his passing in 2022, that legacy now rests with Ravinder Singh Brahmpura, SAD Vice President and Khadur Sahib in-charge. As 2027 approaches, the key question is clear: Will Akali Dal ride the emotional strength of the Brahmpura name or will Ravinder Singh be judged on his own organisational and political performance rather than inheritance ?
रणजीत सिंह ब्रह्मपुरा, माझे दा जरनैल, चार बार विधायक, दो बार कैबिनेट मंत्री और 2014 में खडूर साहिब से सांसद रहे, एक ऐसे नेता जिनकी ताकत पार्टी पद से नहीं, बल्कि दशकों की जमीनी राजनीति से आई। 2022 में उनके निधन के बाद अब यह विरासत शिरोमणि अकाली दल के उपाध्यक्ष और खडूर साहिब हलका इंचार्ज रविंदर सिंह ब्रह्मपुरा के कंधों पर है। 2027 नज़दीक आते ही सवाल साफ है, क्या अकाली दल ब्रह्मपुरा नाम की भावनात्मक ताकत पर भरोसा करेगा या रविंदर सिंह को विरासत से अलग, उनके संगठनात्मक और राजनीतिक प्रदर्शन पर परखा जाएगा ?
In 2022, when the Shiromani Akali Dal fought Raikot in alliance with the BSP, Balwinder Singh Sandhu was the alliance candidate and secured 8,381 votes (7.38%). Despite the joint banner, the result exposed how far the Akali vote had slipped in the constituency. Now appointed as constituency incharge of Raikot for the Shiromani Akali Dal, Sandhu has been given organisational responsibility at a time when the party is trying to make a comeback before 2027. Is Akali Dal rebuilding patiently through structure and loyalty or struggling to project a candidate who can actually convert ground work into votes ? And after the alliance experiment failed, will Akali Dal give Sandhu another chance in 2027 ?
