One specialty of this election is that besides other major parties of Punjab, Arvind Kejriwal’s Aaam Aadmi Party is making a debut contest in Punjab to try their luck. The entry of AAP into Punjab election contest, made the election contest a three-cornered race rather than a two-horse race between SAD-BJP alliance and the Indian National Congress (INC) party. This election is crucial for AAP as it needs a win in this election to advance in national politics.
In most of the opinion polls, it was predicted that presently ruling SAD-BJP will be pushed to the third position and either AAP or Congress will make the government in Punjab. The Central ruling party, BJP this time also is in alliance with SAD (Shiromani Akali Dal). There are 94 candidates for SAD and 23 candidates for BJP this time. The AAP is contesting in all 117 constituencies this time. Congress has already declared Captain Amarinder Singh as their Chief Ministerial candidate.
