In 2022, Ganieve Kaur Majithia not only carried forward the Majithia legacy but did so in style, defeating AAP’s Sukhjinder Singh Lalli by over 26,000 votes even amid the massive AAP wave. As one of the few SAD candidates to stand tall in that storm, she became a symbol of both loyalty and legacy. But as 2027 approaches, the real question is: was that victory a vote for Ganieve herself, or a sympathy wave for the Majithia's name?
Rating
A) Ganieve proved her own political mettle, beyond legacy.
B) The Majithia surname still commands loyalty in Majitha.
C) Sympathy and legacy, not performance, drove the 2022 win.
D) 2027 will test whether Ganieve’s win was personal or inherited.
Amritsar Central has never been friendly to Shiromani Akali Dal. Despite decades in Punjab politics and strongholds elsewhere, SAD has never managed a victory here. As 2027 approaches, the question is blunt, is this urban seat simply beyond the party’s reach, or can the Akalis finally figure out a strategy that resonates with city voters, or will it remain a seat that mocks their ambitions?
अमृतसर सेंट्रल सीट कभी भी शिरोमणि अकाली दल के लिए अनुकूल नहीं रही। पंजाब की राजनीति में दशकों की उपस्थिति और अन्य क्षेत्रों में मजबूत पकड़ होने के बावजूद, अकाली दल यहां कभी जीत हासिल नहीं कर पाया। जैसे-जैसे 2027 करीब आ रहा है, सवाल साफ है, क्या यह शहरी सीट पार्टी की पहुंच से बाहर है, क्या अकाली आखिरकार कोई ऐसी रणनीति ढूंढ पाएंगे जो शहर के मतदाताओं को भा सके या यह सीट हमेशा उनके प्रयासों का मज़ाक बनेगी?
In 2017, Parminder Singh Dhindsa rode to victory in Lehra as a key SAD face, confident, connected, and carrying the legacy of the Dhindsa name. In 2022, he switched sides to the rebel SAD(S) faction, distancing himself from Sukhbir Badal. But the gamble didn’t pay off; he lost badly, finishing a distant second to AAP’s Barinder Kumar Goyal.
