Fatehgarh Sahib: The political conversation around the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections has already started picking up, even though the polls are still some time away.
Across Punjab, potential candidates, political groups and local leaders have begun positioning themselves, and several constituencies are already attracting attention.
Bassi Pathana in Fatehgarh Sahib district is one such constituency. An interesting political contest could take shape here as different political voices begin making their intentions public.
In an exclusive interview with The TV NRI, Amrit Kaur Maloya spoke in detail about her political journey, her decision to enter politics, the challenges she has faced, Punjab’s current political situation and her plans for the upcoming 2027 Assembly election.
During the conversation, Maloya made one point particularly clear: she intends to contest the 2027 Punjab Assembly election from Bassi Pathana and said she would not step back from her decision.
Her statement has added another point of interest to the political discussion surrounding the constituency, particularly at a time when political parties and emerging political formations are beginning to prepare for the next Assembly election.

Amrit Kaur Maloya on Her Political Journey
The interview began with a discussion about Amrit Kaur Maloya herself, her background and her interest in politics. Rather than focusing only on the upcoming election, the conversation also explored the journey that brought her into public and political life.
Maloya spoke about the difficulties she has faced and the reasons behind her decision to become politically active. Her answers offered an insight into how she views the political environment in Punjab and what motivates her to seek an electoral role.
For a prospective candidate, entering an Assembly election is not simply about announcing a constituency. It involves building a local connection, understanding issues affecting residents and developing a political organisation capable of reaching voters across the area.
That wider political journey was an important part of the conversation, as Maloya explained her position and ambitions in her own words.

“I Will Not Step Back” – Maloya on Bassi Pathana
One of the most direct moments of the interview came when Amrit Kaur Maloya was asked about her plans for the Bassi Pathana Assembly constituency.
Her response was clear: she intends to contest from Bassi Pathana in the 2027 election and does not plan to withdraw from that decision.
The statement is significant because Bassi Pathana is already attracting political attention ahead of the election.
Any candidate publicly expressing a firm intention to contest from a particular constituency at this stage can influence the political conversation, especially when other political groups are also preparing their candidates.
For Maloya, however, the issue appears to go beyond simply choosing a seat. During the interview, she explained why Bassi Pathana matters to her and why she wants to make the constituency the centre of her political campaign.
Whether she ultimately appears on the ballot paper will depend on the political developments and formal electoral process closer to the 2027 election. For now, her publicly stated position is that she wants to contest from Bassi Pathana.
Why Bassi Pathana Is Getting Political Attention
Bassi Pathana, located in Fatehgarh Sahib district, could become an interesting constituency to watch as Punjab moves towards the 2027 Assembly election.
The constituency has its own local political dynamics, while developments at the state level could also influence the contest.
As parties begin identifying candidates and building their campaign strategies, the political equation in individual constituencies is expected to become clearer.
In the case of Bassi Pathana, the situation has become particularly interesting following the announcement of Satwant Singh as a candidate of Waris Punjab De for the constituency.
At the same time, Amrit Kaur Maloya has publicly stated that she intends to contest from the same seat.
This has naturally raised questions about the kind of contest that could eventually develop in Bassi Pathana.
It is still too early to predict the final outcome. Candidate lists can change, political alliances can shift and new developments can emerge before an election.
However, the early positioning has already made the constituency worth following.

Amrit Kaur Maloya on Waris Punjab De
A substantial part of the interview focused on Waris Punjab De and the changing political landscape in Punjab.
Maloya was asked about the organisation, its political activities and the wider panthic political space in the state. She gave her own views on the organisation and its approach to Punjab politics.
The discussion comes at a time when Waris Punjab De has become an increasingly visible name in Punjab’s political conversation.
The organisation’s political plans for the 2027 Assembly election are being closely watched, particularly because of the involvement of MP Amritpal Singh, who was elected as the Member of Parliament from Khadoor Sahib in the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
Maloya’s comments during the interview provide her personal perspective on these developments and on the political direction being taken by Waris Punjab De.
What Did Amrit Kaur Maloya Say About Amritpal Singh?
Another notable section of the interview dealt with Amritpal Singh.
Maloya was specifically asked why she does not consider Amritpal Singh a “Bandi Singh”. She responded to the question and explained her position during the conversation.
The subject is politically and socially sensitive in Punjab, where discussions surrounding Sikh political prisoners, political representation and panthic issues often generate strong reactions.
It is important to note that the statements made during the interview represent the views of the person being interviewed. They should not automatically be treated as independently verified facts.
Amritpal Singh’s political future is nevertheless expected to remain an important part of Punjab’s political discussion ahead of the 2027 Assembly election. His role, his political organisation and the constituencies in which its candidates contest are likely to receive considerable attention as the election gets closer.
Views on Sukhbir Singh Badal and Shiromani Akali Dal
The interview also covered the Shiromani Akali Dal and its president Sukhbir Singh Badal.
Maloya shared her views on the Akali Dal, its political position and the broader changes taking place in Punjab politics.
The Shiromani Akali Dal has historically played a major role in Punjab politics, and its future electoral performance will be one of the issues to watch during the run-up to the 2027 Assembly election.
At the same time, newer political voices and smaller political formations are attempting to establish themselves in different parts of the state.
This changing environment means that the next Assembly election could produce interesting contests in constituencies where traditional political loyalties are being challenged by new candidates and new political narratives.
Punjab Government and Current Political Issues
Maloya also took on questions related to the current political situation in Punjab and the performance of the ruling government.
During the interview, she put forward her views on issues that she believes are important for the people of Punjab and discussed what she sees as shortcomings in the present political system.
As with the other political statements made during the conversation, these views belong to Maloya and are presented as part of the interview rather than as independently established findings by Patiala Post.
With the 2027 election approaching, issues such as governance, employment, development, agriculture, law and order, education and the state’s overall economic situation are expected to feature prominently in political campaigns.
How different candidates address these issues and how voters respond to them will ultimately determine the electoral narrative in individual constituencies.
From Punjab Politics to ‘Satluj’, Jaswant Singh Khalra and Diljit Dosanjh
The conversation was not restricted to electoral politics.
Amrit Kaur Maloya also discussed the film ‘Satluj’, human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra and Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh.
These subjects brought a different dimension to the interview, connecting politics with Punjab’s history, social issues, cinema and popular culture.
Jaswant Singh Khalra’s legacy remains a subject of discussion in Punjab, particularly in conversations surrounding human rights and the state’s difficult period of militancy and counter-insurgency.
The discussion around cinema and Diljit Dosanjh also reflects the wider influence of Punjabi culture and entertainment on public conversations beyond the political arena.
Could Bassi Pathana Become a Key Contest in 2027?
For now, it is difficult to say exactly how the Bassi Pathana contest will look when the 2027 election arrives.
What can be said is that political positioning has already started.
Amrit Kaur Maloya has publicly stated that she intends to contest from Bassi Pathana, while Waris Punjab De has announced Satwant Singh as its candidate from the constituency.
That combination is enough to make the seat one to keep an eye on as Punjab’s political activity increases.
The final contest, however, will depend on several factors. Other political parties have yet to finalise their candidates, while alliances and local political equations can change significantly before nominations are filed.
The performance of individual candidates will also depend on their local organisational strength, public outreach and ability to connect their political message with the issues affecting voters.
For voters in Bassi Pathana, the coming months are likely to bring more political activity, public meetings and competing claims from different political groups.
Amrit Kaur Maloya’s Message Ahead of 2027
The central message from Maloya’s interview is her determination to remain in the political contest.
Her statement that she will not step back from Bassi Pathana provides a clear indication of where she currently stands.
Whether that intention eventually turns into a formal candidacy and how voters respond to her campaign will become clearer as the election approaches.
For now, the interview gives voters an opportunity to hear Maloya’s views directly, rather than relying only on short statements or social media posts.

What Happens Next?
The 2027 Punjab Assembly election is still ahead, which means there is plenty of time for the political picture to change.
New candidates may enter the race, parties may announce additional candidates, alliances could develop and local political calculations may change before voters finally make their choice.
For Bassi Pathana, however, the early signs suggest that the constituency could be closely watched during the election build-up.
Amrit Kaur Maloya’s decision to publicly maintain her claim over the seat has added another name to the political conversation, while the presence of a Waris Punjab De candidate could make the contest even more interesting.
The real test will come when campaigning begins in earnest and candidates move from announcements to the ground-level work of reaching voters.
Until then, Maloya’s latest interview provides an early look at her political plans and the issues she intends to take to the people.
