With 70-96 million Indians facing rare diseases and sky-high treatment costs, will a 10% customs duty cut really make a difference? And adding 10,000 medical seats.
Sajjan Singh Cheema entered Punjab politics with a clean public image linked to sports, discipline, and social causes when he joined the Aam Aadmi Party in 2016. He chose Sultanpur Lodhi as his political battleground in both 2017 and 2022, but despite fighting twice, he could not win the seat. Repeated contests show persistence, yet repeated defeats also raise tougher questions about actual ground strength. As 2027 nears, should Sajjan Singh Cheema attempt a third battle from Sultanpur Lodhi in 2027, or is it the time to rethink his political path altogether. Can persistence finally turn into victory, or has the constituency already shown its limits for him ?
सज्जन सिंह चीमा ने 2016 में आम आदमी पार्टी में शामिल होते समय खेल, अनुशासन और सामाजिक मुद्दों से जुड़ी साफ-सुथरी छवि के साथ पंजाब राजनीति में कदम रखा। उन्होंने सुल्तानपुर लोधी को 2017 और 2022 में अपना राजनीतिक मैदान चुना, लेकिन दो बार चुनाव लड़ने के बावजूद सीट नहीं जीत सके। बार-बार चुनाव लड़ना उनकी दृढ़ता दिखाता है, लेकिन लगातार हार अब ज़मीनी ताकत पर कठिन सवाल भी खड़े करती है। अब 2027 नज़दीक आते ही बड़ा सवाल यह है कि क्या सज्जन सिंह चीमा को सुल्तानपुर लोधी से तीसरी बार मैदान में उतरना चाहिए, या अब अपनी राजनीतिक राह पर दोबारा सोचने का समय आ गया है। क्या लगातार कोशिश आखिरकार जीत में बदलेगी, या यह सीट पहले ही अपनी सीमा दिखा चुकी है ?
Harmeet Singh Sandhu is one of the few Punjab leaders who has stayed electorally relevant by repeatedly adapting to changing political tides. From winning Tarn Taran as an Independent in 2002, then as an Akali Dal candidate in 2007 and 2012, to later switching sides and returning in 2025 with an AAP bypoll victory, his career reflects both flexibility and strong local influence. While many leaders struggle after changing camps, Sandhu has managed to remain at the center of Tarn Taran politics. The bigger question now is whether Harmeet Singh Sandhu’s latest comeback proves that voters value his personal hold more than party loyalty, or if switching sides will eventually carry a political cost. Is Tarn Taran backing the man regardless of symbol, or will the next election show that repeated party changes can test even a seasoned leader’s support base ?
