Bajinder Pal Singh

While the entire electoral focus is on the Patiala and Lambi seat where the Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh and Akali Dal chief Parkash Singh Badal are contesting the elections, there are some mini battles that are more interesting.
The broad estimate this time is that Majha and Doaba (surprisingly yes) is going the Akali way, while the Congress is making inroads in the Malwa belt.

Seats to watch out during these Punjab elections are :

Kahnuwan: Will Partap Singh Bajwa manage to ward off anti incumbency and harp on his PWD works to win the election. With almost the entire Majha tilting towards the Akalis, is this the seat which will be denied to Sewa Singh Sekhwan? On the other hand the factor that goes against Partap is the number of cases registered against his political opponents in the constituency.

Dhuri: With Gaganjit Singh Barnala under a cloud, and his bete noir Dhanwant Singh Dhuri remaining in the news as well, will both be pipped by an independent? And how will Barnala rank in the final tally?

Dakala: Is the Tohra legacy powerful enough to stop Lal Singh? Is this Harmel’s final lap?

Muktsar: Will Bhai Harnirpal Singh Kuku get enough sympathy to defeat both Congressman Avtar Singh Brar and independent turned Akali turned Congressman turned Akali, Sukhdarshan Singh Marar?

Faridkot: Will Kushaldeep Singh Dhillon retain his seat? Despite his lineage and popularity, will the Sukhbir factor play spoilsport for him?

Lehra: Between Bhattal and Chandumajra, voters have a very difficult choice?

Jalandhar: Well the entire Jalandhar. Will Henry, Gurkanwal and even Chaudhry Jagjit (Kartarpur) be able to thwart the inroads made by Akalis into Doaba?
