After serving as MLA from Tanda Urmar in 2012 and 2017, Sangat Singh Gilzian entered the 2022 contest with experience and name recognition, yet fell short with 38,386 votes (30.9%), narrowly losing to AAP’s Jasvir Singh Raja Gill. The defeat marked a turning point for a leader once considered Congress’s mainstay in the constituency. As 2027 approaches, does Gilzian’s two-term legacy still carry weight in Tanda Urmar or has the political mood shifted beyond familiar faces ? And after coming so close, will Congress back him again or read the result as a sign to rethink its strategy ?
टांडा उड़मुड़ से 2012 और 2017 में विधायक रह चुके संगत सिंह गिलजियां 2022 के चुनाव में अनुभव और पहचान के साथ उतरे थे, लेकिन 38,386 वोट (30.9%) लेकर वह आम आदमी पार्टी के जसवीर सिंह राजा गिल से मामूली अंतर से हार गए। यह हार उस नेता के लिए एक अहम मोड़ थी, जिसे कभी कांग्रेस का मजबूत आधार माना जाता था। अब 2027 जैसे-जैसे नजदीक आ रहा है, क्या टांडा उड़मुड़ में गिलजियां की दो कार्यकाल वाली विरासत अब भी असर रखती है या राजनीतिक माहौल पुराने चेहरों से आगे बढ़ चुका है ? और इतनी करीबी हार के बाद, क्या कांग्रेस उन्हें फिर मौका देगी या इस नतीजे को रणनीति बदलने का संकेत मानेगी ?
After being projected as Congress’s CM face in 2022 with the “Sada Channi, Sada CM” campaign, Charanjit Singh Channi suffered a rare setback as a sitting Chief Minister. In Bhadaur, he managed only 26,409 votes, losing heavily to AAP’s Labh Singh Ugoke, while also losing his home seat of Chamkaur Sahib. His 2024 Lok Sabha comeback from Jalandhar has revived his political relevance, and within Congress there is quiet talk of whether Channi could again be projected as a CM option for 2027. But as the party looks ahead, does a parliamentary win erase a state-level rejection or did Punjab already deliver its verdict on Channi as a CM choice ?
