Aam Aadmi Party rose from Punjab with a sweeping mandate and helped secure its national party status, but fresh defections, internal cracks, and rising voter frustration have now put both its image and future under pressure. If Punjab was the state that lifted AAP nationally, could Punjab also become the state that brings its biggest setback ? With Bhagwant Mann facing scrutiny, senior leaders leaving, and questions over promises growing louder, the road to 2027 looks far more uncertain than it did in 2022. Is this only turbulence, or the start of a deeper collapse ?
आम आदमी पार्टी पंजाब से भारी बहुमत लेकर उभरी थी और इसी जीत ने उसे राष्ट्रीय पार्टी का दर्जा दिलाने में बड़ी भूमिका निभाई। लेकिन अब नए दलबदल, अंदरूनी खींचतान और बढ़ती जन नाराज़गी ने उसकी छवि और भविष्य दोनों पर सवाल खड़े कर दिए हैं। अगर पंजाब वह राज्य था जिसने आम आदमी पार्टी को राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर ऊपर उठाया, तो क्या पंजाब ही उसे सबसे बड़ा झटका भी देगा ? भगवंत मान पर बढ़ती जांच, बड़े नेताओं के जाने और अधूरे वादों पर उठते सवालों के बीच 2027 की राह 2022 जैसी आसान नहीं दिखती। क्या यह सिर्फ हलचल है, या बड़ी गिरावट की शुरुआत ?
Shamsher Singh emerged as a serious contender in Dinanagar in 2022, but he could not win and lost to Aruna Chaudhary of Congress in a seat long shaped mainly by Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party rivalry. Even in defeat, he finished strongly and has since remained active as Halka in-charge, giving him time to build organisation, local reach, and visibility ahead of the next battle. But turning a strong second-place finish into victory is often harder than achieving it once.
