Brahm Mohindra has been a huge supported of former Chief Minister of Punjab Captain Amarinder Singh . During the political differences between Captain Amarinder Singh and Navjot Singh Sidhu , Brahm always stood with Captain. He stood with Captain even after he stepped down from his post of Chief Minister of Punjab.
After winning the 2012 elections, Mohindra decided to give up on his seat in the name of Captain’s son, Raninder Singh. He elected himself from the Patiala Dehati seat.
On 19 September 2021, it was announced that Charanjit Singh Channi would be the new Chief Minister of Punjab, and Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa and Brahm Mohindra will be the two deputy chief ministers. However, this decision was changed at the last hour as OP Soni was appointed as the second deputy chief minister, and Mohindra’s name was dropped from the list. Sources also revealed that Navjot Singh Sidhu played a crucial role is selecting the deputy chief ministers.
Heartiest congratulations to @Charnjit_channi for elevation as #PunjabCM and @BrahmMohindra & @Sukhjinder_INC as Dy CMs. Best wishes for their grand success in the service of Punjab under the leadership of Smt.Sonia Gandhi and Sh.@RahulGandhi .

In October 2020, Brahm Mohindra supported Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, and demanded for an action to be taken against Navjot Singh Sidhu for his repeated acts of indiscipline as they speak against then Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh. Mohindra further added, that this demand was not proposed because of Sidhu’s behaviour during rallies in Moga or Patiala, but because of his misconduct before resigning from the cabinet as well. He said-
As a sensible leader, one has to apologise for any act of indiscipline. Still, the Chief Minister was magnanimous enough to share the stage with Sidhu and other dissidents to give a message of unity when Rahul Gandhi visited Punjab.”
In 2019, Brahm Mohindra’s son, Mohit Mohindra, applied for Congress ticket for the Bathinda parliamentary constituency. He was the general secretary of Punjab Youth Congress, and he was the wing in-charge of Bathinda parliamentary constituency. He believed that as party president Rahul Gandhi wanted more youth to come forward and represent the party, he believed that he was a strong contender.
