Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh entered Punjab politics with high expectations, leaving a senior IPS career to join AAP and becoming one of the party’s most talked-about faces before the 2022 elections. His clean image, role in the sacrilege investigations, and strong win from Amritsar North gave him instant political weight. However, the relationship later soured, with open criticism of his own Government ending in a five-year suspension from the party in 2025.
कुंवर विजय प्रताप सिंह ने बड़ी उम्मीदों के साथ पंजाब की राजनीति में प्रवेश किया था। उन्होंने वरिष्ठ आई.पी.एस. करियर छोड़कर आम आदमी पार्टी का दामन थामा और 2022 चुनावों से पहले पार्टी के सबसे चर्चित चेहरों में शामिल हो गए। साफ छवि, बेअदबी मामलों की जांच में भूमिका और अमृतसर उत्तर से बड़ी जीत ने उन्हें तुरंत राजनीतिक वजन दिया। हालांकि बाद में रिश्ते बिगड़ गए और अपनी ही सरकार की खुली आलोचना का अंत 2025 में पार्टी से पांच साल के निलंबन के रूप में हुआ।
Vibhuti Sharma entered the 2022 Punjab elections as the Aam Aadmi Party candidate from Pathankot, a seat known for swinging between Congress and BJP over the years. Despite the shifting nature of the constituency, he could not convert the opportunity into a win. However, unlike many candidates who fade after defeat, he has kept himself alive in the constituency, maintaining visibility and staying connected with local issues. With Pathankot’s history of changing loyalties and 2027 approaching, the question now is whether this continued presence can translate into real electoral success, or if the seat will once again return to its traditional players. After his 2022 loss but staying alive in the constituency, can Vibhuti Sharma break the Congress BJP cycle in Pathankot in 2027, or will he struggle again to convert effort into votes ?
