PATIALA: As the Lok Sabha elections near, finding the appropriate candidate for Fatehgarh Sahib constituency continues to be a problem for the Congress, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Last time, AAP candidate Harjinder Singh Khalsa defeated Congress’s Sandhu Singh Dharamsot by means of 54,144 votes to emerge victorious. SAD candidate Kulwant Singh had bagged 3.13L votes to complete third. However, quickly after polls, the AAP suspended Khalsa, saying that he indulged in anti-party activities and has now not mended fences since then. This time, the political scenario might to find Khalsa contesting on a ticket of Sukhpal Khaira’s Punjabi Ekta Party (PEP). This is as a result of whilst Khalsa has been suspended by means of AAP, his former celebration SAD isn't keen to induct him and he himself refuses to contest on a Congress ticket.
The SAD is trying to field two-time MP Paramjit Kaur Gulshan, who lost the 2014 Lol Sabha election from Faridkot to AAP’s Sadhu Singh. Also, the name of Charanjit Singh Atwal, a former speaker of the Punjab meeting and deputy speaker of Lok Sabha, could also be doing the rounds for the ticket. When contacted, SAD spokesperson Daljit Singh Cheema mentioned the celebration was once yet to take any determination on applicants.
The AAP, meanwhile, would possibly field Justice Zora Singh, who chaired a fee arrange in 2015 to probe sacrilege incidents in Punjab and joined the celebration in December final 12 months. Party insiders mentioned since SAD was once still looking to make comeback in politics, Justice Zora’s candidature from a seat with spiritual importance would possibly lend a hand the celebration.
In the case of Congress, whilst former MLA Satwant Singh Mohim has already stake declare to the seat, former IAS officer has also sought the celebration ticket. One Gurpal Singh Goldy, who is alleged to be on the subject of New Moti Bagh Palace, could also be vying to get the celebration ticket. The Congress could also be deliberating at the names of Payal MLA Lakhvir Singh Lakha and Gurpreet Singh GP, the MLA from Bassi Pathana.
A source within the celebration mentioned the top command might also imagine cupboard minister Sadhu Singh Dharamsot, a five-time MLA who has effectively contested 3 times from Amloh and two times from Nabha constituencies. The source mentioned Dharamsot gave a tough battle to Khalsa even if the AAP wave sturdy in Punjab.
Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) president Sunil Jakhar mentioned the celebration was once attaining out to district and block-level office-bearers and employees to get their comments earlier than finalising applicants. He mentioned a survey to assess winnability of applicants the use of the ‘Shakti’ mobile app was once underway because it had given certain results all over the state elections in Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
Problem of masses
While the AAP want to field Justice Zora Singh from Fatehgarh Sahib, the SAD is deliberating at the name of Paramjit Kaur Gulshan and Charanjit Singh Atwal. The Congress has the option of fielding cupboard minister Sadhu Singh Dharamsot, who has a powerful hang over the constituency. The names of sitting Payal MLA Lakhvir Singh Lakha and Bassi Pathana legislator Gurpreet Singh GP also are into account.
