BJP along with Akali Dal have been singed by the year-long farmer protests as the latter doesn’t seem to have forgiven the saffron party for imposition of farm laws.
The ruling party Congress is seen getting reduced to second spot, getting 23% vote share, which would result in 9-31 seats.
Amarinder Singh, who projected himself as the only alternative to CM Channi, failed to show his charisma and his party Punjab Lok Congress is projected to win only 7% votes.
Elections in the state took place on February 20. It recorded 72% voter turnout as compared to 77.36% in 2017.
