Political career[edit]
Jagjit is originally from the distinguished party of Punjab known as People's Party of Punjab. In 2015, People's Party of Punjab was merged with Indian National Congress for constituting a concrete alliance for 2017 Punjab Legislative Assembly election. This action was taken by Manpreet Singh Badal, who is also the maternal cousin of Jagjit Singh Brar. Jagjit joined[2] the Indian National Congress party with Manpreet Singh Badal. The alliance was formed to strengthen the party for forthcoming elections of 2017 Punjab Legislative Assembly election in order to curb the opposing parties easily.

After a disagreement, he also announced[5] that he will contest the election of 2017 polls independently if he will not be offered the ticket from Congress because he firmly believes that the people of Muktsar wanted him as their leader.

This in itself signifies that Jagjit Singh is a leader who believes in the welfare of the middle class and poor people and fights for the injustice being done to them in any form.
