Corridors of Power | Channi-Waris Punjab De buzz, Raghav Chadha factor and SAD signal
Channi-Waris Punjab De buzz is simmering, with potential political alignments and defections on the horizon. Tarsem Singh, father of WPD chief Amritpal Singh, has praised former Punjab CM Channi recently. During his tenure as a Lok Sabha MP, Channi raised the issue of Amritpal's detention, putting him at odds with the Congress party.
As the BJP prepares for its drug control yatra in Punjab, the political landscape is shifting. With the Bhagwant Mann government's final six months, and the upcoming 2027 Assembly elections, defections are expected. The Oberoi Sukhvilas in New Chandigarh, owned by SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal, has been chosen for the Lok Sabha Standing Committee, suggesting possible political signals.
Meanwhile, the newly appointed vice-chancellor of Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Dr Rajinder Kumar Bansal, hails from Cheema Mandi, near Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's village. These events indicate a complex web of political maneuverings in Punjab.
