Incidentally, one poll (ABP-C Voter) predicted that the Trinamool Congress would win 5-9 seats which, if turned out to be true, would place it in a king maker’s role. (PTI Photo/Arun Sharma) Most pollsters gave the AAP numbers much ahead of the ruling Congress and the Akali Dal-BSP combine. An interesting contest is likely to play out in Punjab, the only state in these Assembly polls which is not under BJP rule. With 80 seats out of the 543 in Lok Sabha, 403 in the Assembly, and 31 of the 245 in Rajya Sabha, besides a 100-member Legislative Council, Uttar Pradesh with its over 15 crore voters carries more weight than any other state in the country’s politics. The Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is cruising to victory in Punjab by steamrolling the traditional players, heralding a tectonic shift in Indian politics. The results of the elections in Uttar Pradesh, which has 403 Assembly seats, is keenly watched today. The results of the five assembly elections are a further consolidation of the momentous changes in Indian politics over the last decade. Welfare schemes: The free ration scheme of the Central and state governments was a gamechanger for the BJP as families struggled through a pandemic that led to the loss of lives and jobs. But the state party is well on its way to becoming a national party in the coming years if it meets Election Commission’s criteria. It is premature to write the epitaph of a party as old as the Congress, which still has a pan-Indian footprint. Security & Hindutva: Many voters were convinced that it was necessary to bring the incumbent government back to power solely on the issue of law and order, their argument being that no government can remove problems like inflation and unemployment completely.

Power for the 117-seats strong Punjab Assembly had been contested by the Congress, AAP, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), and the BJP in 2017. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had secured only three seats.
