28 May 2025 : Famous Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala’s father, Balkaur Singh, has made a major decision to enter politics. He clearly stated that he will contest the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections from the Mansa seat. He made this announcement during an interview with a private news channel. Balkaur Singh said that he is entering politics to carry forward the legacy of his son Sidhu Moosewala and to strengthen the fight for justice for him.
In his statement, Balkaur Singh said, “I will definitely contest the election. Only by becoming part of the system can we raise our voice for justice.” He also took a dig at the Chief Minister of Punjab, saying that all of the CM’s claims turn out to be false. He accused the CM of making various promises just to win elections. Regarding the CM’s claims of Goldy Brar’s arrest, he said there is no need to comment on it as every claim made by the CM has proven to be misleading.
This announcement comes two days before Sidhu Moosewala’s death anniversary, bringing new hope among his supporters. However, Balkaur Singh has not yet revealed which party’s ticket he will contest the elections on.
In 2022, Sidhu Moosewala also contested from Mansa
It is worth noting that Sidhu Moosewala was publicly shot dead in May 2022. The murder was claimed by the Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar gang. Moosewala had contested the 2022 Assembly elections from Mansa on a Congress ticket but was defeated by Aam Aadmi Party’s Vijay Singla. Now, with his father stepping into politics, the Mansa seat is once again back in the spotlight.
Summary: Balkaur Singh, Sidhu Moosewala’s father, will contest 2027 Punjab elections from Mansa, aiming to seek justice and serve the community.
