Manjit Singh Manna Mianwind has had a long political journey, starting with Shiromani Akali Dal, where he won from Khadoor Sahib in 2002 and 2007, and later from Baba Bakala in 2012, showing strong adaptability across constituencies. Over time, he remained a known face in Punjab politics, but his shift to the BJP before the 2022 elections marked a major political turn. He was later fielded from Khadoor Sahib in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, entering yet another crucial phase of his career. But with such a shift from Akali Dal to BJP, the real question now is whether his core voter base has moved with him or stayed behind.
मनजीत सिंह मन्ना मियांविंड का राजनीतिक सफर लंबा रहा है, जिसकी शुरुआत शिरोमणि अकाली दल से हुई, जहां उन्होंने 2002 और 2007 में खडूर साहिब से जीत दर्ज की और बाद में 2012 में बाबा बकाला से भी जीत हासिल की, जिससे उनकी अलग-अलग क्षेत्रों में पकड़ साफ दिखी। समय के साथ वे पंजाब की राजनीति में एक जाना-पहचाना चेहरा बने रहे, लेकिन 2022 से पहले भाजपा में उनका जाना एक बड़ा राजनीतिक बदलाव था। इसके बाद उन्हें 2024 लोकसभा चुनाव में फिर से खडूर साहिब से उम्मीदवार बनाया गया, जो उनके करियर का एक नया चरण है। लेकिन अकाली दल से भाजपा में इस बदलाव के बाद अब असली सवाल यह है कि क्या उनका मूल वोट बैंक उनके साथ आया है या पीछे रह गया है।
Sarabjit Singh Makkar’s political journey has seen several sharp turns, from winning as a Shiromani Akali Dal MLA from Adampur in 2007 to being shifted across constituencies like Kapurthala and Jalandhar Cantt, and later moving to the Bharatiya Janata Party after being denied a ticket by Sukhbir Singh Badal. Once seen as close to the Badal family, his exit from SAD over ticket denial and claims of betrayal exposed clear cracks in long-standing political ties. He then contested the 2022 elections from Jalandhar Cantt on a BJP ticket but could not secure a win. After starting strong with a win in 2007 but facing setbacks, party switches, and another defeat in 2022, can Sarabjit Singh Makkar rebuild his credibility and voter base in Jalandhar Cantt, or have these repeated changes made a comeback in 2027 increasingly difficult ?
