Amritpal Singh, jailed since April 2023, continues to influence Punjab's politics as his party, Waris Punjab De, mobilizes support ahead of Assembly elections. Despite recent protests demanding his release, the party's organizational strength remains questionable, appearing more as a challenge to the weakened Akali Dal than a new political force. The situation will evolve as elections approach in 2026.
