TheAam Aadmi Party is likely to form a government in Punjab as it is leading in 89 out of 117 seats followed by the Congress that is ahead in only 13 seats. Ex-comedian Bhagwant Mann is likely to be the next Chief Minister of Punjab . This will be Kejriwal’s first major win outside Delhi.
AAPs BhagwantMann was leading with 13,482 votes from Dhuri, while Dalvir Singh Goldy, Congress candidate had 4,762 votes in the first round of counting. Also, AAPs Jeevan Jotbkaur was leading with 5,999 votes followed by Bikram Majithia with 4,796 votes. And Navjot Singh Sidhu , another heavyweight Congress candidate was in third place with 4,743 votes in Amritsar East. Current Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi was trailing in two assembly seats, Bhadaur and Chamkaur Sahib.
Trends indicate a major defeat for Congress. The Congress will face a huge blow if AAP gets to win Punjab because the state is a bastion for the Grand Old Party.
The ruling party Congress is facing a stiff battle from theAam Aadmi Party (AAP), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP ), and the Akali Dal-BSP combine. Additionally, the BJP is united with former Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh’s party the Punjab Lok Congress .
The former Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh, who quit the Congress after incessant infighting created his political party called thePunjab Lok Congress (PLC). The PLC is battling the Punjab Elections in alliance with the BJP and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD).
