In the 2022 Assembly elections, BJP’s Rakesh Dhingra secured just 1,116 votes, even fewer than NOTA, which got 1,226 votes in Lambi. With heavyweights like Gurmeet Khuddian and the Badal legacy dominating the battlefield, can BJP ever hope to make an impact here?
2022 विधानसभा चुनावों में, भाजपा के राकेश ढींगरा ने लंबी में केवल 1,116 वोट हासिल किए, जो कि NOTA के 1,226 वोटों से भी कम थे। गुरमीत सिंह खुड्डियां और बादल परिवार जैसी बड़ी हस्तियों के दबदबे के बीच, क्या भाजपा कभी यहां प्रभाव छोड़ पाएगी?
Fateh Jang Singh Bajwa’s move from Congress to BJP in 2021 was almost inevitable after his elder brother Partap Singh Bajwa staked claim to the family seat of Qadian. Over the years, Mr Bajwa has had a roller-coaster political journey, winning Qadian in 2017, and then losing Batala in 2022 after switching parties. As 2027 nears, will Fateh Jang Singh Bajwa get another chance in Batala, or will he risk a direct face-off with his brother in Qadian to reclaim family pride and political relevance?
