Santokh Singh Chaudhary Wife: Who Is Karamjit Kaur? People are curious to find out more about Santokh Singh Chaudhary’s wife, Karamjit Kaur, in the wake of the news of his passing.
A heart arrest struck Santokh Singh Chaudhary, a 76-year-old Congressman from Jalandhar, on Saturday as he took part in Party Leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra. Chaudhary was following the yatra in the Phillaur region of the Jalandhar district, which is a part of his Lok Sabha district.
A two-term member of parliament from Jalandhar, Santhokh Singh Chaudhary ran in seven elections, including two for the Lok Sabha and five for the Vidhan Sabha. In the Congress governments that were founded in 1992 and 2002, he worked as a minister.

The people left behind by Santokh Singh Chaudhary are his wife, Karamjit Kaur, and son Vikramjit Singh.
Former Government Sports College Jalandhar principal Karamjit Kaur’s son, Vikramjit Singh, is the current MLA for Phillaur. Regarding his wife and children, there is no other information available.
As a two-term member of parliament for Jalandhar (2014 and 2019), Chaudhary ran in seven elections, including two for the Lok Sabha and five for the Vidhan Sabha. He ran in 1992, 1997, 2002, 2007, and 2012 Assembly elections and was successful three times. He served as a minister in both the 1992 and 2002 Congresses.
Santokh Singh Family: Where Was He Born?
Chaudhary was the brother of former local government minister Chaudhary Jagjit Singh and the son of former Punjab agriculture minister Master Gurbanta Singh, a family with a long and distinguished political history.
Everyone who knew him and his family agreed that his business manner was completely different from that of his powerful parents, older brother, former minister Chaudhary Jagjit Singh, and his Father, Master Gurbanta Singh. The family’s 16th representative in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha, which also happens to be the state’s 16th Assembly, is his son Vikramjit Singh Chaudhary.
The last election Master Gurbanta Singh won was in 1972, when he was elected without opposition. He was a seven-time MLA. Chaudhary Jagjit Singh was elected to the Assembly five times, Santokh Singh Chaudhary three times, and Jagjit’s son Chaudhary Surinder Singh once.
How Much Is Santokh Singh’s Net Worth?
Santokh Singh’s exact net worth at the time of his death hasn’t been revealed yet.
Santokh, a well-known Dalit Leader, was twice suggested as the Chief Minister’s face. Before the 2012 Assembly election, Meira Kumar, the then-Speaker of the Lok Sabha, visited Jalandhar and indicated that even an SC Leader might become the next CM.
Santokh may not have had the same high expectations for himself as he did for his son Vikramjit Chaudhary. Especially after losing in 2017, he desperately wanted to see him win the Phillaur segment he had nurtured. In the Vidhan Sabha election of 2022, his dream was realized.
The leaders were initially in disbelief when they observed him actively participating in the Bharat Jodo Yatra despite his advanced age and the extreme cold.
