Amritpal Singh, the leader of ‘Waris Punjab De’ and newly elected MP from Khadoor Sahib, Punjab, is poised to take oath as a Member of Parliament today. Emerging victorious in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as an independent candidate, Singh triumphed over Congress contender Kulbir Singh Zira by a resounding margin of 1,97,120 votes.
Singh, formerly detained as a radical Sikh preacher at Dibrugarh jail in Assam, has been relocated to Delhi for his parliamentary swearing-in ceremony. His electoral success underscores a significant shift in Punjab’s political landscape, highlighting widespread grassroots support for independent voices.
