Jagbir Singh Brar, Shiromani Akali Dal stalwart, last won Jalandhar Cantt in 2007. Since then, Pargat Singh Powar has kept the seat under his grip for three straight terms, leaving Brar struggling to make a dent. In 2022, he tried a comeback but ended up third, raising eyebrows. As 2027 nears, the bigger question is should SAD bet on Brar again, or field a new face?

Bibi Jagir Kaur has long been a key figure in Bholath politics, first winning in 1997 and returning in 2012 with Shiromani Akali Dal. She lost to Sukhpal Singh Khaira in 2022 and is now going with the rebel Akali faction led by Giani Harpreet Singh. After years away from direct power and repeated clashes with Khaira, the big question is whether Jagir Kaur has lost her grassroots connect or if her legacy can still influence voters in 2027?
बीबी जागीर कौर लंबे समय से भुलत्थ राजनीति की प्रमुख हस्ती रही हैं। उन्होंने पहली बार 1997 में जीत हासिल की और 2012 में शिरोमणि अकाली दल के साथ वापिस आईं। 2022 में उन्होंने सुखपाल सिंह खैरा से हार का सामना किया और अब वह ज्ञानी हरप्रीत सिंह के नेतृत्व वाले बागी अकाली दल के साथ हैं। कई वर्षों तक सीधे सत्ता से दूर रहने और सुखपाल सिंह खैरा के साथ लगातार मुकाबलों के बाद, बड़ा सवाल यह है कि क्या बीबी जागीर कौर ने अपना ज़मीनी संपर्क खो दिया है या उनकी विरासत 2027 में मतदाताओं को प्रभावित कर पाएगी?
Parambans Singh Bunty Romana stormed the 2022 Faridkot race to finish second, even pipping Kikki Dhillon, proving he can shake up the old order. But finishing close isn’t winning, and the real question remains, is Bunty a serious force in Malwa, or just a flashy challenger who looks good on results sheets but fades in action? After two consecutive losses, the bigger question looms, should SAD field Romana again, or is it time for a fresh face?
