Elected as SGPC chief for the third time, Kaur replaced Gobind Singh Longowal who had faced criticism over the 328 missing copies (saroops) of Sikhs holy book Guru Granth Sahib.

Before her election, senior Akali leader Alwinder Pal Singh Pakoke proposed her name for the next SGPC chief but some rebel SGPC members demanded an election.
