520 _aNo election in Punjab has ever been completely free from the shadow of the state’s dark days of militancy. And this Lok Sabha election was no different. The overall scenario is that Congress has benefited the most in the vote share as well as seals count and the AAP lost its sheen in Punjab. The result comes as a big boost to the leadership of Amarinder, considered to be a strong leader independent of the high command in New Delhi. In the changing order of Punjab politics the voters are asking questions, seeking answers and demanding accountability from their representatives. All hope is not lost for the third alternative in the state as PDA has got around 15 lakh votes polled by APP. The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD’s) defeat on eight seats indicates that the party has not revived as expected after its poor performance in the assembly pools. The SAD has to clearly work hard to reconnect with masses and shed their baggage of 10 years of sacrilege riddled governance. - Reproduced
