Jagtar Singh Jagga Hissowal’s political journey has been anything but straight. Elected as an AAP MLA from Raikot in 2017, he later extended support to Congress leader Charanjit Singh Channi and went on to contest the 2022 Assembly election on a Congress ticket from Jagraon. The shift raised eyebrows across party lines. Now, with 2027 on the horizon, the real question is, does Jagga Hissowal’s changing political path reflect adaptability and ambition or has it blurred his political identity in the eyes of voters ?
जगतार सिंह जग्गा हिस्सोवाल की राजनीतिक यात्रा कभी सीधी नहीं रही। 2017 में वह रायकोट से आम आदमी पार्टी के विधायक चुने गए, लेकिन बाद में उन्होंने कांग्रेस नेता चरणजीत सिंह चन्नी को समर्थन दिया और 2022 का विधानसभा चुनाव जगराओं से कांग्रेस टिकट पर लड़ा। इस बदलाव ने सभी राजनीतिक दलों के बीच हैरानी पैदा कर दी। अब 2027 नज़दीक है, तो असली सवाल यही है, क्या जग्गा हिस्सोवाल का बदला हुआ राजनीतिक रास्ता समझदारी और महत्वाकांक्षा दिखाता है या इससे मतदाताओं की नजर में उनकी राजनीतिक पहचान धुंधली हो गई है ?
Balachaur has long been shaped by Chaudhary Nand Lal, the SAD stalwart who ruled the seat for four straight terms, and later by Darshan Lal Mangupur, the Congress leader who broke that dominance in 2017. But in 2022, Mangupur slipped to third place, losing ground as AAP’s Santosh Kumari Kataria surged ahead. That makes the question sharper than ever: Will Congress still field Darshan Lal Mangupur again from Balachaur in 2027 or has his third- place finish marked the end of his centrality in Balachaur ?
