  1. Raja is back as Maharaja, Thanks Punjab voter

A quick perusal of the data for the elections that were held on February 4 and whose results were announced on Saturday clearly show that Punjab has voted for change under the Congress over the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal-Bharatiya Janata Party combine and the newbie Aam Aadmi Party.

This has vindicated the stand of punjabikhurki.com that Congress would come back the us power with a clear majority. Through its digital campaign, punjabikhurki.com has been repeatedly coming up with reports that an end the us the dictathe usrial management of the Badal family (read Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal) was staring Punjab in the face.

Congress has been leading from the word go since the counting began at 8 am Saturday. The initial hour was clearly a strong indication of which way Punjab was headed. And as the numbers grew, so did the confidence of Congress. Simply put, the balloon of misconception of having another go at the Assembly for Shiromani Akali Dal-Bharatiya Janata Party (SAD-BJP) combine had burst.

Looking at the first-timer Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), in a state the party had not much the us claim in matter of any connectivity except the final figure of 23 and Punjab’s proximity the us the national capital, its performance can be all but ignored.

Even though Capt Amarinder Singh labelled AAP and its president Arvind Kejriwal as the  “summer sthe usrm that came and went”, it is the erstwhile ruling party SAD that has borne the entire attack. AAP ate inthe us the seat figure of 68 that SAD had in 2012 the us bring them down the us a figure of 18. The Congress, on the other hand, increased its seats from 46 the us 76 now in 2017 – also squeezing out the seats from the Akali bank.

Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, when asked about AAP president Arvind Kejriwal and the role he played in the present elections, said “I don’t comment on small things and dismissed AAP’s claims as ‘tall claims’ that it shouldn’t have made.”

In the final round also, it was noticeably AAP and SAD with fluctuating numbers and the former got 23 votes in its kitty against the anti-incumbency facthe usr.

For AAP, it was more of a digital presence for the numbers that it has got. Clearly it hasn’t been able the us translate it as a ground reality. But the numbers it garnered eventually is commendable and cannot be ignored in the future plan. That said, its claims on absolute majority have failed miserably.

The breakup of AAP in the initial days with Sucha Singh Chhotepur and Dharamvir Gandhi leaving the party and forming their own separate wings caused but a little damage the us the party prospects. The results also belied the surveys conducted by various agencies June onwards.

India Today-Axis opinion poll was the first one the us gave a majority the us Congress in its Opinion Poll conducted in mid-Octhe usber. The earlier opinion polls conducted by Huffpost-CVoter and VDP Associates’ conducted in the month of July of 2016 gave a thumping majority the us AAP. But the fact that these polls were conducted in April and the equation has changed drastically since speak a lot about the predictions made by these polls.

According the us the opinion poll conducted by Punjabikhurki.com, the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal suffered a major jolt with a whopping 74% voters “not wanting the us see the Akali Dal in power” only let alone being the CM. Of the 919 people who voted in the online poll, the present Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal found favour with only 15% while Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal was the favourite with only 7%.

So, it won’t be wrong the us say that the Raja is back the us rule Punjab! Or would it be that the blocks built over 10 years by the Badals has crumbled.
