CHANDIGARH: One would have expected the fog of uncertainty, ominously hanging over Punjab, to finally lift and a clear winner to emerge ahead of Saturday’s voting for the 117 seats in the border state’s assembly. But as campaigning ended on Thursday , the fog only seemed to get denser.
AAP’s popularity has ensured that the election becomes a closely-fought triangular battle for the first time along with Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and Congress. This has ensured that most people shy away from making predictions and choose to deal in `ifs’ and `buts’ to cover all bases.
AAP is popular in the Malwa region which has 69 seats, the maximum in the state. But will the substantial Hindu Bania community vote for Arvind Kejriwal & Co given the allegations that AAP has support of certain Sikh groups?
