Jagdeep Kamboj Goldy made one of the biggest political upsets in Punjab by winning from Jalalabad in 2022 and defeating Shiromani Akali Dal Chief Sukhbir Singh Badal in his own stronghold, a seat long seen as almost untouchable. The result shook a long-standing political base and brought him into sharp focus. But the real question now is: Was this a genuine shift in Jalalabad’s political ground, or just a one-time collapse of an old stronghold that may not hold in the long run, especially if Sukhbir Singh Badal returns to reclaim it in 2027 ?
जगदीप कंबोज गोल्डी ने 2022 में जलालाबाद से जीत हासिल कर पंजाब की राजनीति में एक बड़ा झटका दिया, जब उन्होंने शिरोमणि अकाली दल के प्रमुख सुखबीर सिंह बादल को उनके ही मजबूत गढ़ में हराया, एक ऐसी सीट जिसे लंबे समय तक लगभग अजेय माना जाता था। इस नतीजे ने एक स्थापित राजनीतिक पकड़ को हिला दिया और गोल्डी को अचानक केंद्र में ला खड़ा किया। लेकिन अब असली सवाल यह है: क्या यह जलालाबाद की राजनीति में स्थायी बदलाव है, या सिर्फ एक बार का ऐसा परिणाम जो लंबे समय तक टिक नहीं पाएगा, खासकर अगर सुखबीर सिंह बादल 2027 में वापसी की कोशिश करते हैं ?
Hardeep Singh Mundian entered Punjab politics with a victory from Sahnewal in 2022 on an Aam Aadmi Party ticket, becoming part of a larger wave that brought many first-time MLAs into power. He now holds an important role as Minister for Revenue, Rehabilitation and Disaster Management, placing him in a key position within the Government. As a relatively new face with a significant portfolio, expectations around his performance, visibility, and ground connect have naturally increased. Has Hardeep Singh Mundian been able to translate his ministerial role into strong political influence in Sahnewal, or does his rise still depend more on the 2022 wave than individual performance ?
