Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann is banking on Faridkot’s seat as his very close friend Karamjit Anmol is contesting for elections. Karamjit Anmol Singh is a famous Punjabi actor, singer and comedian. Despite having other suitable candidates close to CM Mann, he placed his bets on Karamjit Anmol. Winning the Faridkot seat is quite significant for Aam Aadmi Party. Congress considered Amarjit Kaur Sahoke to be a suitable candidate for the Lok Sabha Elections. Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) made the fight more interesting by announcing famous singer Hans Raj Hans as its candidate. Talking about Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), the party has chosen Rajwinder Singh to contest the upcoming assembly elections.
Talking about previous victories, the city has witnessed a candidate win twice. In 2009 Paramjit Kaur Gulshan from SAD, in 2014 Prof. Sadhu Singh from AAP and in 2019 Muhammad Sadiq from Congress were the winners of the Faridkot seat.
