If reports are to be believed, There is talk of giving ticket to former Deputy Mayor Surinder Kaur from the seat. It should be noted that Surinder Kaur has been undefeated in the elections she has contested so far. Surinder Kaur’s name is considered almost final, only the official announcement from the party is pending.
However, there was also talk that Mohinder Singh Kaypee can return to Congress and Congress can give him a ticket. But KP has called these talks as baseless rumors.
Congress, which won in the Lok Sabha elections, is in high spirits. Therefore, Congress seems to have an upper hand in the West constituency. MP Charanjit Singh Channi is also saying that this time the Congress candidate will be from the West constituency.
At present, the most senior Congress leader in the West constituency is former senior deputy mayor Surinder Kaur. After the resignation of Sushil Rinku, Congress suffered a big setback in the West constituency. Most of its councilors have left the party and joined the BJP.
