Punjab Election: Younger voters likely to hold key for major political parties

“The Akalis (who are contesting 94 seats) have their traditional votebank in rural Punjab. The BJP (which is contesting 23 seats) banks mostly on urban votes. The AAP and the Congress have made inroads into the rural vote-bank of the Akalis,” Ajmer Singh, an agriculturist from Sangrur district who closely follows Punjab’s politics, told IANS.

While the AAP was in a stronger position at the ground level around this time last year, the party continues to have a major role to play in next month’s election which could mar the chances of the ruling alliance and the Congress.
