How does the Government’s decision to criminalise peaceful protests for such basic rights reflect on the larger issue of justice and fairness for the people?
Thekedar Madan Lal Jalalpur, a two-time MLA, once enjoyed power as a Congress representative, but 2022 told a different story. Despite experience, ground network, and campaign strength, he finished second with 31,018 votes, far behind AAP’s Gurlal Ghanaur, who secured a decisive win with 62,783 votes. With Congress losing ground across Punjab and AAP still holding voter attention, the question ahead of 2027 is clear: Can Thekedar Madan Lal Jalalpur make a comeback or have Ghanaur voters moved on from Congress?
ठेकेदार मदन लाल जलालपुर, जो दो बार विधायक रह चुके हैं, कभी कांग्रेस के प्रतिनिधि के रूप में सत्ता का आनंद लेते थे लेकिन 2022 ने एक अलग कहानी दिखाई। अनुभव, जमीनी पकड़ और मज़बूत चुनाव अभियान के बावजूद, वे 31,018 वोटों के साथ दूसरे स्थान पर रहे, जबकि आम आदमी पार्टी के गुरलाल घनौर ने 62,783 वोटों के साथ एक बड़ी जीत दर्ज की। पंजाब में कांग्रेस की पकड़ कमजोर होती जा रही है और AAP अभी भी मतदाताओं का ध्यान खींच रही है। 2027 के दृष्टिकोण से सवाल यह है: क्या मदन लाल जलालपुर वापसी कर पाएंगे या घनौर के मतदाता कांग्रेस से आगे बढ़ चुके हैं?
Randeep Singh Nabha once held solid ground in Amloh, an MLA in 2012 and again in 2017, a familiar face in Congress politics and a leader who once commanded loyalty and presence. But by 2022, the story flipped. Despite his experience and long-standing political network, he secured only 16,077 votes, landing a distant third. For a two-term MLA to fall this sharply, the shift showed not just changing political winds, but a loss of connection, relevance, and voter confidence. So now, as Punjab moves toward 2027, was 2022 just a temporary setback for Randeep Singh Nabha or was it the beginning of a permanent exit from Punjab’s active political stage?
