On a tricky turf, how Punjab polls challenge key contenders – AAP to Congress, SAD to BJP
Punjab's upcoming Assembly polls are shaping up as a highly competitive contest among major parties, with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) seeking to retain power amid a fragmented opposition. The Congress party aims to leverage internal strife within AAP and the anti-incumbency sentiment against Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, while the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) attempts to revive its influence despite challenges. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) also eyes a stronger foothold in Punjab, encouraged by recent electoral successes in other states.
