Dinesh Singh Babbu, former three-time MLA from Sujanpur and Ex-Deputy Speaker of the Punjab Legislative Assembly, lost the 2022 assembly elections from Sujanpur. Despite this, BJP fielded him as their Lok Sabha candidate from Gurdaspur in 2024, marking the party’s first candidate from the constituency in 26 years. However, he lost the seat to Congress’s Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa.
दिनेश सिंह बब्बू, तीन बार के विधायक सुजानपुर और पंजाब विधानसभा के पूर्व उप उपाध्यक्ष, 2022 के विधानसभा चुनावों में सुजानपुर सीट हार गए। इसके बावजूद, भाजपा ने उन्हें 2024 में गुरदासपुर लोकसभा का उम्मीदवार बनाया, जो 26 वर्षों में इस सीट से पार्टी के पहले उम्मीदवार थे। हालांकि, वह कांग्रेस के सुखजिंदर सिंह रंधावा से हार गए।
Jiwan Gupta entered the 2025 bypoll from Ludhiana West as BJP’s candidate after Bikram Singh Sidhu lost in the 2022 assembly election. In 2022, Sidhu had secured 28,107 votes (24.20%) but was defeated, while in the 2025 bypoll, Gupta received 20,323 votes (22.53%), trailing the winner. With BJP trying to regain its strength in the constituency, questions arise about Jiwan Gupta’s political standing and his prospects for 2027. How might his position evolve in the coming election?
