Chandigarh: Voting will be held on Wednesday for the by-elections of four assembly constituencies Chabewal, Gidderbaha and Barnala. Former MLAs from these assembly constituencies respectively, Dr. Raj Kumar Chabewal, Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, Amarendra Singh Raja Waring and Gurmeet Singh Meethair have been elected Lok Sabha members, but interestingly the by-election has become a question of political future for the above Lok Sabha members as the family members of these leaders are in the fray. are in the field
Jatinder Kaur Randhawa, wife of Lok Sabha member Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, Amrita Waring, wife of Raja Waring, Dr. Ishank Chabewal, son of Harinder Singh Dhaliwal, who is very close to Raj Kumar Chabewal and Meet Hayer, is contesting the elections. If we look at the results of recent elections, Aam Aadmi Party has been winning from Barnala constituency twice in a row, Congress Party has been winning from Chabewal, Gidderbaha and Dera Baba Nanak, but now the political direction has changed. Changed. Shiromani Akali Dal is not contesting the by-election for the first time. Although Akali Dal has not fielded any candidate, the votes of Akali Dal workers will decide the victory or defeat of the candidates.
In the elections held in 1995 after the Governor’s rule, Manpreet Badal reached the Assembly for the first time by winning the Giddarbaha by-election as an Akali Dal candidate. Now that the Akali Dal is not contesting the by-election, Manpreet Badal has once again entered the fray in Gidderbaha as the BJP candidate. Raja Waring has won elections from here thrice and now his wife Amrita Waring is in the election fray. At the same time, Hardeep Singh Dimpy Dhillon, very close to Sukhbir Badal, is contesting the elections on Aam Aadmi Party ticket.
Congress’s Jatinder Kaur Randhawa, AAP’s Gurdeep Singh Randhawa and BJP’s Ravikaran Singh Kahlon are contesting from Dera Baba Nanak seat. Former minister Sucha Singh Langah and the Christian community can spoil the political calculations of the candidates in the constituency, whereas in Barnala constituency, AAP has fielded Harinder Singh Dhaliwal, Congress has fielded Kuldeep Singh Kala Dhillon and BJP has fielded only Dhillon. Akali Dal (A)’s Gobind Singh Sandhu and AAP rebel Gurdeep Singh Bath are in the fray. It is discussed in the circle about Gurdeep Singh Bath that he has the protection of a big leader of AAP. It is believed that Trident Group, Bharatiya Kisan Union Ugraha are also under a lot of pressure in the constituency, hence rebel Gurdeep Singh Baath and Akali Dal Amritsar candidate Gobind Singh Sandhu are spoiling the political equation of the candidates. There is a close contest in Barnala.
Who will contest in the by-election, although it will not affect the government, but this election is a question of prestige for political parties especially Raja Waring, Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer, Manpreet Badal, Kewal Singh Dhillon, Dimpy. Dhillon has become, there is a lot of talk among the people that Congress and AAP will be successful in saving their political fort. The main focus of political parties and candidates is on farmers, employees and Dalit voters as these sections will play an important role in these elections and BJP’s focus is on the urban vote bank. These elections will decide the political future of many leaders.
