Harminder Singh Gill, Congress MLA from Patti in 2017, slipped to a distant third in 2022 with just 33,009 votes, a collapse that raised serious questions about Congress’s footing in the region. With Patti now caught between rebel Akalis, a weakened SAD, and shifting vote blocs, is Mr. Gill still a meaningful force for Congress, or has his 2017 victory turned into nothing more than a fading credential in an increasingly competitive constituency?
Opinion
A) Still relevant, can help revive Congress in Patti.
B) Visible, but far weaker than his 2017 peak.
C) Mostly symbolic, 2022 proved his decline.
D) Out of the equation, Patti no longer sees him as a contender.
Sukhwinder Singh Kotli won Adampur in 2022 with 39,554 votes, securing 35.10% even during the strong AAP wave that swept Punjab. With AAP rising, Congress shrinking, and independents slicing small chunks of votes, Kotli’s win stood out as one of the few bright spots for his party. But as 2027 approaches, the question remains: Was Kotli’s victory a sign of genuine personal strength in Adampur or just a rare escape in a year when Congress was swept aside almost everywhere else ?
सुखविंदर सिंह कोटली ने 2022 में आदमपुर से 39,554 वोट लेकर 35.10% के साथ जीत दर्ज की, वह भी उस समय जब पूरे पंजाब में आम आदमी पार्टी की तेज़ लहर चल रही थी। AAP के बढ़ते प्रभाव, कांग्रेस के सिकुड़ते जनाधार और आज़ाद उम्मीदवारों द्वारा वोट कटाव के बीच, कोटली की जीत कांग्रेस के लिए गिने-चुने उजले पलों में से एक थी। लेकिन जैसे-जैसे 2027 का चुनाव नज़दीक आ रहा है, बड़ा सवाल यह है: क्या कोटली की जीत उनकी असली व्यक्तिगत पकड़ की निशानी थी या फिर बस एक ऐसी दुर्लभ जीत थी जहाँ कांग्रेस लगभग पूरे पंजाब में हार गई थी ?
Dr. Navjot Singh Dahiya was placed third behind AAP and SAD in the 2022 elections with 36,068 votes, and the Congress has not won this seat since 2007. As the 2027 election approaches, the party’s long struggle in Nakodar raises a clear question about what might happen next. Based on past results and the steady rise of its rivals, what is the most likely outcome for the Congress in the 2027 Nakodar election ?
