Manpreet Badal and Amrita Warring are set to go head-to-head, making Gidderbaha a key battleground in these by-elections.
Punjab Bye Elections 2024 Congress candidates list: As the political heat rises ahead of the upcoming Punjab bypolls, Gidderbaha is emerging as one of the most hotly contested seats, with Congress fielding Amrita Warring and the BJP placing its bets on Manpreet Badal. The two heavyweights are set to go head-to-head, making Gidderbaha a key battleground in these by-elections.
The Congress party recently announced its candidates for the bypolls, which include Jatinder Kaur from Dera Baba Nanak, Ranjit Kumar from Chabbewal, Amrita Warring from Gidderbaha, and Kuldeep Singh Dhillon from Barnala. While the spotlight is on all constituencies, it is Gidderbaha that has garnered the most attention.
Gidderbaha is considered a crucial seat not only because of its political history but also due to the high-profile clash between Amrita Warring and Manpreet Badal.
Amrita Warring, wife of prominent Congress leader Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, comes from a political family and enjoys strong support in the region. Known for her grassroots connections and dynamic leadership, she is expected to pose a significant challenge to Badal. Her campaign is likely to focus on development and addressing local issues, capitalizing on her deep-rooted presence in the constituency.
Manpreet Badal, on the other hand, will lean on his political legacy and experience, particularly his work as Finance Minister during his tenure in the Congress government. With the BJP aggressively trying to make inroads in Punjab, Manpreet’s candidacy is seen as a strategic move to strengthen the party's foothold in the Malwa region.
The battle for Gidderbaha is set to be a major test for both Congress and BJP, with observers predicting a tough fight between the two contenders. Local residents are keenly watching how both candidates position themselves on key issues affecting the constituency, including infrastructure, agriculture, and employment.
The outcome of the bypolls, especially in Gidderbaha, will be a crucial indicator of the shifting political landscape in Punjab and could have long-term implications for the state’s politics. With both candidates ramping up their campaigns, Gidderbaha is undoubtedly the seat to watch in the Punjab bypolls 2024.
