Jeet Mohinder Sidhu springs into action engaging hearts and minds while rekindling connections with the faithful who've stood by him through the years.
By Amrit Pal Sidhu
Senior Congress leader Jeet Mohinder Singh Sidhu a four-time MLA with a well known political career has dramatically ramped up his presence across the constituencies that once elevated him to office.
He has significantly intensified his engagements in the area.
With his combative persona and seasoned political expertise, Jeet Mohinder Sidhu has claimed victory after victory a testament to his veteran status in the arena. He is regarded as a seasoned politician, a reputation that has contributed to his numerous electoral successes.
Politics stood between him and the cabinet a position he earned in every measure, yet cabinet remained beyond his reach. Political barriers prevented his deserved cabinet position.
Sidhu first emerged victorious in Talwandi Sabo as an independent candidate in 2002, defeating Congress' Harminder Singh Jassi. He then secured successive wins in 2007 and 2012, this time representing the Congress party.
Later, he shifted allegiance to the Akalis and once again defeated Jassi in 2014, achieving a remarkable victory with a record-breaking margin.
He dedicated a significant amount of time to the Akali Dal, largely influenced by his father, Bhupinder Singh Sidhu, who shared close ties with the former Chief Minister, the late Parkash Singh Badal.
Aligning with his father's aspirations, he became a member of the Akali Dal. However, in October 2023, Sidhu decided to part ways with the Akali Dal, rejoining the Congress and contesting the Bathinda Lok Sabha elections. (amritbrar2012@gmail.com)
