Naresh Puri carries a strong political legacy from Sujanpur, being the son of veteran Congress leader Raghunath Sahai Puri, who was elected multiple times from the same seat and also served as a Cabinet Minister holding key portfolios. From that legacy to his own journey, Naresh Puri faced an early setback in 2012 but made a comeback by winning Sujanpur in 2022 on a Congress ticket. With a legacy behind him and a fresh mandate in hand, the expectations are higher, but so is the pressure to prove that his win is not just about the past, but also about his own political strength. Is Naresh Puri building his own stronghold in Sujanpur, or is he still riding on the legacy of his veteran Congress leader father as 2027 approaches ?

Balwinder Singh Dhaliwal has quietly built a solid political position in Phagwara, first winning the 2019 bypoll and then retaining the seat for Congress in 2022 despite the strong AAP wave across Punjab. In a constituency known for competitive contests and shifting loyalties, repeating victory when many Congress leaders were losing gave him added importance. His back-to-back wins suggest local strength, but with Punjab politics changing rapidly, holding ground in 2027 may become an even tougher test. With Congress trying to rebuild and rivals eyeing Phagwara again, the big question is whether Balwinder Singh Dhaliwal has turned into a dependable local strongman, or if his past narrow margins signal a tougher battle ahead. Can he make it a hat-trick in 2027, or will Phagwara switch again with the changing political wind ?
बलविंदर सिंह धालीवाल ने फगवाड़ा में चुपचाप एक मजबूत राजनीतिक स्थिति बनाई है। पहले 2019 उपचुनाव जीता और फिर 2022 में पूरे पंजाब में आम आदमी पार्टी की लहर के बावजूद कांग्रेस के लिए सीट बचाई। एक ऐसे क्षेत्र में जहां मुकाबले कड़े रहते हैं और राजनीतिक झुकाव बदलते रहते हैं, वहां लगातार दूसरी जीत ने उनकी अहमियत बढ़ा दी। उनकी लगातार जीत स्थानीय पकड़ दिखाती है, लेकिन पंजाब की तेजी से बदलती राजनीति में 2027 में यह सीट बचाना और कठिन परीक्षा हो सकती है। कांग्रेस फिर से खुद को खड़ा करने की कोशिश कर रही है और विरोधी दल फगवाड़ा पर नजर लगाए बैठे हैं। बड़ा सवाल यह है कि क्या बलविंदर सिंह धालीवाल अब एक भरोसेमंद स्थानीय मजबूत नेता बन चुके हैं, या उनकी पिछली कम अंतर की जीतें आगे कठिन मुकाबले का संकेत हैं। क्या वह 2027 में जीत की हैट्रिक लगाएंगे, या फगवाड़ा फिर बदलती हवा के साथ करवट लेगा ?
Harpartap Singh Ajnala has been a familiar face in Ajnala politics for years, winning the seat multiple times and building a strong Congress presence in the constituency. From victories in 2005, 2012, and 2017 to defeating established rivals, he remained one of the key political figures of the area. However, the 2022 election brought a setback as the AAP wave pushed him out, raising fresh questions about whether experience still outweighs changing voter mood. With 2027 approaching, the bigger question is whether his long political roots can still deliver another comeback, or if Ajnala has moved into a new political era.
