Despite a strong AAP wave in 2022, Prof. Gurdhian Singh Multani could secure only 38,353 votes (26.76%) in Mukerian, falling short of victory. The result stood out because this was a moment when Aam Aadmi Party was winning big across Punjab. As 2027 comes closer, the question is no longer just about the last election, but the next one. Will AAP trust Prof. Multani again in Mukerian despite not converting the wave into a win or will the party look for a new face to finally cross the line ?
2022 में आम आदमी पार्टी की तेज़ लहर के बावजूद, प्रो. गुरध्यान सिंह मुल्तानी मुक़ेरियां में सिर्फ 38,353 वोट (26.76%) ही हासिल कर पाए और जीत से दूर रह गए। यह नतीजा इसलिए भी अहम रहा क्योंकि उसी समय "आप" पंजाब में बड़ी जीत दर्ज कर रही थी। अब 2027 नज़दीक है, और सवाल सिर्फ़ बीते चुनाव का नहीं, आने वाले फैसले का है। क्या "आप" मुक़ेरियां में प्रो. मुल्तानी पर फिर भरोसा करेगी या जीत की उम्मीद में किसी नए चेहरे को मौका देगी ?
With 51,104 votes (40.59%), Madan Lal Bagga secured a clear win in Ludhiana North in 2022, staying comfortably ahead of his rivals. It was a strong mandate, but one that also raises expectations. A big win can give confidence, yet it also brings sharper scrutiny. Was Bagga’s victory mainly the result of his own ground connect or did the wider AAP wave carry him across the line ? And as 2027 approaches, can he convert this solid margin into long-term trust or will rising expectations make Ludhiana North a tougher test next time ?
