Om Parkash Soni — from Independent MLA in 1997 to Punjab Deputy CM in 2021, his political graph has seen both survival and high office.
In 2022 elections, he lost Amritsar Central polling just 26,811 votes (30.7%) against AAP’s Ajay Gupta who swept with 40,837 votes (46.8%).
Is Amritsar Central still ready to trust this Congress veteran in 2027?
A) Political survivor — still has enough local connect to win again.
B) Fading relevance — past glory, but little pull in the new Punjab politics.
C) Silent retiree — 2027 may mark the end of his electoral innings.
