The Congress Party, led by Captain Amarinder Singh, stormed to victory with a strong majority in the 2017 elections. The Akali-BJP administration was deposed as a result of strong anti-incumbency and major corruption accusations. For the first time, AAP entered the Punjab election and garnered more than 20% of the vote.
However, this year, the election campaign in Punjab was characterised by infighting within the Congress and public drama over the change of guard. Rather of battling the challenge, Congress focused on putting its own house in order.
Since the outset, the political war has become increasingly bipolar, and as exit polls indicate, it is shaping out to be a two-party contest, with the AAP and Congress playing crucial roles. According to most exit polls, the AAP would win the state by a landslide, capturing 70-90 seats in the 117-member Assembly. The Congress Party is expected to fare poorly, while the BJP and Akali Dal are expected to be flogged by voters for neglecting farmers' misery during agricultural protests.
