Randeep Singh Deol, the BJP’s district president and candidate from Dhuri in 2022, secured just around 4% votes (approx. 5,400). Now, as the BJP tries to build a new identity in Punjab and expand beyond its traditional pockets, the question becomes unavoidable. In 2027, will the BJP stick with familiar faces like Deol, who may have organizational loyalty but limited vote pull, or will the party search for a fresh, louder, and socially influential face to make Dhuri competitive? Who should BJP field from Dhuri in 2027?
रणदीप सिंह देओल, जो 2022 में धूरी से भाजपा उम्मीदवार और जिला अध्यक्ष थे, उन्हें लगभग 4% (करीब 5,400) वोट मिले। अब जब भाजपा पंजाब में अपनी नई पहचान और पकड़ बनाने की कोशिश कर रही है, तो सवाल साफ है, 2027 में धूरी से भाजपा किस पर दांव लगाएगी? क्या पार्टी फिर से पुराने वफादार चेहरे को मौका देगी या कोई नया, ज़मीन-से-जुड़ा हुआ और प्रभावशाली नेता ढूंढेगी? धूरी में भाजपा का 2027 चुनावी चेहरा कौन होना चाहिए?
Kotkapura, a constituency that has always swung like a pendulum between Shiromani Akali Dal and Congress. BJP here, has never truly entered the real contest, not even as a serious second-place threat. But with Punjab’s politics shifting, alliances cracking, and voter loyalties thinning, 2027 quietly asks a new question. If BJP finally wants to make Kotkapura more than just a symbolic presence, who should they field?
