After winning Malerkotla in 2022 with a decisive 65,948 votes (52.32%), Mohammad Jamil Ur Rehman rode the AAP wave to a clear mandate, leaving Congress far behind. But strong victories also bring higher expectations. As anti-incumbency slowly builds and 2027 approaches, the real test is no longer about winning once, but about holding ground. Has Jamil Ur Rehman converted his massive vote share into lasting trust and visible work on the ground or was his win more about the AAP wave than individual leadership ? And if the wave weakens, can he still defend Malerkotla on performance alone ?
2022 में 65,948 वोट (52.32%) के बड़े अंतर से मलेरकोटला जीतकर, मोहम्मद जमील उर रहमान ने आम आदमी पार्टी की लहर पर सवार होकर कांग्रेस को काफी पीछे छोड़ दिया। लेकिन बड़ी जीत के साथ बड़ी उम्मीदें भी आती हैं। जैसे-जैसे 2027 नज़दीक आ रहा है और सत्ता विरोधी माहौल बनता जा रहा है, असली परीक्षा अब जीतने की नहीं, टिके रहने की है। क्या जमील उर रहमान इतनी बड़ी जीत को ज़मीनी काम और भरोसे में बदल पाए हैं या यह जीत "आप" की लहर का नतीजा थी, न कि व्यक्तिगत नेतृत्व की ? और अगर लहर कमजोर पड़ती है, तो क्या वह सिर्फ अपने प्रदर्शन के दम पर मलेरकोटला बचा पाएंगे ?
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 ?
