Tarn Taran: The Akali Dal Waris Punjab De, led by MP Bhai Amritpal Singh, has announced its candidate for the upcoming Tarn Taran by-election. The party has fielded Mandeep Singh, the brother of Sandeep Singh Sunny, who is currently lodged in jail in connection with a murder case.
With this announcement, the Tarn Taran by-election will now see a contest among five candidates representing different political parties. The poll is drawing significant attention as it highlights the growing competition among various Akali factions in Punjab’s political landscape.
Meanwhile, the newly formed Akali Dal under Giani Harpreet Singh has yet to reveal its candidate or clarify if it will extend support to any of the existing contenders. The party’s decision is being closely watched, given its potential impact on the electoral arithmetic in the constituency.
The Tarn Taran by-election has emerged as a key political battle, reflecting the evolving dynamics within Punjab’s regional parties and the renewed efforts of splinter groups to assert their influence ahead of future state elections.
