Kanchan Preet Kaur first came into the political spotlight during the 2025 Tarn Taran by-election, when she actively campaigned for her mother, Shiromani Akali Dal candidate Sukhwinder Kaur Randhawa. In March 2026, she was appointed the party’s Tarn Taran constituency in-charge. Now, as she leads efforts to mobilise women workers for the November 13 rally, could she emerge as another prominent woman leader like Harsimrat Kaur Badal and Ganieve Kaur Majithia ? Is Kanchan Preet Kaur emerging as the next strong woman face of the Shiromani Akali Dal or will her role remain limited to mobilising women workers ?
कंचन प्रीत कौर पहली बार 2025 के तरन तारन उपचुनाव के दौरान राजनीतिक चर्चा में आईं, जब उन्होंने अपनी मां और शिरोमणि अकाली दल की उम्मीदवार सुखविंदर कौर रंधावा के लिए सक्रिय रूप से प्रचार किया। मार्च 2026 में उन्हें पार्टी का तरन तारन हलका इंचार्ज नियुक्त किया गया। अब वह 13 नवंबर की रैली के लिए महिला कार्यकर्ताओं को संगठित करने की अगुवाई कर रही हैं। क्या वह हरसिमरत कौर बादल और गनीव कौर मजीठिया की तरह पार्टी की एक प्रमुख महिला नेता बन सकती हैं ? क्या कंचन प्रीत कौर शिरोमणि अकाली दल का अगला मजबूत महिला चेहरा बनकर उभर रही हैं या उनकी भूमिका केवल महिला कार्यकर्ताओं को जुटाने तक सीमित रहेगी ?
The return of Professor Prem Singh Chandumajra, his son Harinderpal Singh Chandumajra and their supporters to the Shiromani Akali Dal raises a fresh question about the party’s internal power equations. After leaving the party and joining the Punar Surjit Akali Dal, the Chandumajras are now set to return under Sukhbir Singh Badal’s leadership. The development puts the focus on Sukhbir Badal's ability to bring leaders back into the fold. Did the dissenting factions misjudge his hold over the party and their own ability to challenge it ? Did Sukhbir Singh Badal prove that he knows how to keep his flock together, while the breakaway factions miscalculated their own political strength ?
