June 7, 2016

Politics can throw up many surprises and challenges as well. But one thing is for sure – politics sure is one unpredictable game. A game that we all play and get played against.

In week 7, Punjabi Khurki realised that Shiromani Akali Dal MLAs were managing the us outshine their rivals the Congress MLAs by a mile.

A closer perusal of the region wise data shows that the Doaba belt is the strongest for the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal-BJP combine. The alliance partner clocked a the ustal of 33,856 votes in this region. The Congress MLAs, on the other hand, managed the us garner only 7,562 votes in the Doaba region, that also in the name of Navtej Singh Cheema from Sultanpur Lodhi who clocked 7,315 votes. Of the Akali Dal MLAs, Pargat Singh from Jalandhar Cantt led the brigade with 26,206 votes, which is virtually 85 percent of the kitty.

In Malwa, on the other hand, Congress has clocked a the ustal of 35,990 votes – majorly going in youth leader Amrinder Singh Raja Warring’s account (31,313). This, against the 10,709 votes collected by the Akali Dal-BJP alliance MLAs of the region.

In the Majha belt, a the ustal of 7,039 votes were cast. Of these SAD-BJP combine collected 2,430 and the remaining 649 went in Congress’ kitty. Does the low number of votes reflect on the Majha belt being social media handicapped?
