He is already having to exercise political tact as he has to appeal to ALL groups. For example he may be 100% for a certain issue such as equality but he will only speak about it to a certain extent because other (even Sikh) entities don’t believe in full equality (especially gender) and he has to appeal to all groups for votes. But just as an aside he did speak about gender equality at our Gurdwara and was totally on the side of supporting women to have full equal rights in all seva. But I’m just using that as an example. In general now as a politician he has to use tact with ALL subjects for the same reason. He needs to keep everyone on his side. I would think it would be a bit tiring to try to cater to many different groups that way, but then I am not made (nor interested) to be in politics. After seeing what happened to Harjit Sajjan (surrounding one little statement which wasn’t a lie as was accused)... he never actually said he ‘was’ the architect he said ‘it’ was the architect speaking about the intelligence he gathered. That intelligence was used to construct the mission. But look how that blew up and now no matter what you tell anyone, they think he lied about his role in that mission. In reality, he risked his own life Togo places nobody else would or could... in order to obtain that intelligence. People accuse him of stolen valour and yet HE is the one who risked his life to get the intelligence and then also served on the front line in the actual mission itself! But that’s how politics works. If the opposition can see a small opportunity to destroy someone for their benefit then they will. I hope Jagmeet Singh doesn’t fall prey to the same thing. But he seems to slough off hecklers so far without any incident. (Speaking about that girl who crashed a speech and accused him of being Taliban).
