Punjab, one of the most prominent states in Northern India, consists of some major cities like Mohali, Ludhiana, Amritsar, Patiala and Jalandhar. Punjab has the lowest poverty rate in India and is considered to have the best infrastructures as well.
Punjab Elections generally see a straight fight between the Akali Dal and the Congress. With BJP as an ally in Punjab for the Akali Dal, the Punjab Lok Sabha elections sees a tough challenge posed infront of the Congress. After a dismal performance in the 2004 elections when it won just 2 seats, Congress also lost the Assembly elections of 2007. However, the Congress is focussing this election on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and expects to get good number of votes from the Punjabi community. On the other hand, BJP is yet to make a strong foothold in Punjab and is in the race mainly because of its star candidates Navjot Singh Sidhu and Vinod Khanna. The standoff with the religious Dera Sacha Sauda, which has considerable following in south-western districts of Punjab, can have a negative impact on the Akali Dal's vote share.
All 13 Constituencies go to polls in two phases, on May 7th and May 13th.
