kdsingh80 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 CHANDIGARH: Shiromani Akali Dal is all set to create history in Punjab. The party, along with its ally BJP, is cruising to victory, bucking anti-incumbency for the first time in the state's electoral history. The winning streak began early on Tuesday, and by 2 pm, SAD (32) and BJP (11) had together bagged 43 seats to Congress' 33. SAD was leading in 21 seats and Congress in 16. Around 2 pm, CM Parkash Singh Badal's media adviser Harcharan Bains addressed the media at Badal's home in Lambi, saying: "In the next few hours, SAD is going to emerge as the single largest party. We are on the verge of breaking 45-year-old record." The members of the Badal family, however, still chose to remain confined in the house and not make a public apperanace. Rebel Manpreet Badal Punjab has been rejected by the electorate of the state losing both his seats, including Gidderbaha, a seat he has been winning for four terms. The Congress' biggest blow came from what is considered its forte, the Doaba region of Punjab, which has a huge Dalit base. Mayawati may not have retained her magic in Uttar Pradesh but Punjab's Dalit belt has rejected the Congress that has lost in a number of seats and trailing in many in Jalandhar, in the heart of Doaba. Punjab's malwa region, which sends the largest number of MLAs to the Assmebly has given a fractured mandate. This raises doubts over the hold of the Sirsa-based Dera Sacha Sauda whose influence is said to be widespread in this region. The Dera has always played a big role in Punjab politics, especially in the way Malwa votes. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Election-results-SAD-BJP-set-to-create-history-in-Punjab-with-repeat-win/articleshow/12160731.cms 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdsingh80 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 So what is the significance of the 'Sikh' party Akali Dal linking themselves with the reputed Hindu fascist party the BJP???? Akali Dal's main opponent is congress ,as congress is considered party of everybody so they can get votes of every section of society.Akali Dal is considered as party of Sikhs (mainly jat sikhs) so they need someone who can attract hindu votes which are between 40-45% in Punjab.So they had no option but to align with BJP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 It's pretty sad that ppp couldn't even win a single seat, i guess people of punjab don't give a damn about having positive change in punjab, they keep voting for either corrupt akali dal or congress and then they whine about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SURYADEV Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 A wild animal once tamed and bought into submission and controlled will then always return to its master and be content to live in a cage and eat crumbs of bread. Panjab people are in the same mental situation now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
