After a landslide win in Mansa in 2022, Vijay Singla went from being showcased as AAP’s anti-corruption symbol to becoming its most uncomfortable question mark. Arrested and removed as minister with dramatic claims of “solid evidence,” and now given a clean chit, his political arc has blurred the line between action and optics. As 2027 approaches, Mansa faces a blunt choice: Is Singla a leader wronged by political theatre or a reminder that AAP’s zero-tolerance talk collapses when tested at home ? And can a candidate once publicly declared guilty still ask voters for trust ?
2022 में मानसा से ज़बरदस्त जीत के बाद, विजय सिंगला आम आदमी पार्टी के भ्रष्टाचार-विरोधी चेहरे के तौर पर पेश किए गए थे, लेकिन जल्द ही वही पार्टी के लिए सबसे असहज सवाल बन गए। “ठोस सबूत” के दावों के साथ मंत्री पद से हटाए गए, गिरफ्तार किए गए, और अब क्लीन चिट मिलना, इस पूरे घटनाक्रम ने कार्रवाई और राजनीतिक दिखावे की रेखा धुंधली कर दी है। 2027 के करीब आते ही मानसा के सामने सीधा सवाल है: क्या सिंगला राजनीतिक नाटक का शिकार थे या फिर यह मामला बताता है कि "आप" की ज़ीरो-टॉलरेंस की बात अपने घर में ही कमजोर पड़ जाती है ? और जिसे कभी सार्वजनिक रूप से दोषी ठहराया गया हो, क्या वह फिर से जनता से भरोसा मांग सकता है ?
After winning Khadur Sahib in 2022 on a strong AAP wave, Manjinder Singh Lalpura was projected as a face of change. Today, his political standing is shaped less by governance and more by controversy. Lalpura’s conviction and four-year jail sentence in a molestation case, coupled with the fact that the Khadur Sahib Assembly seat has still not been officially declared vacant, raises a blunt question. Instead of waiting for the 2027 Assembly polls, is Khadur Sahib already heading toward a by-election ? And has the AAP Government quietly prepared itself for another electoral battle in Khadur Sahib ?
