What will happen in Punjab in assembly elections - slated to be held on February 14 - is an intriguing question as Captain Amarinder Singh's resignation from Congress due to the year-long standoff with Navjot Singh Sidhu has left everyone baffled. In 2017, the Congress under Captain Amarinder had returned to power in the 117-member assembly, winning 77 seats. However, it is difficult to predict who will win this time. Captain Amarinder had formed his own party intending to regain his throne and declared that he is ready for an alliance with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and breakaway Akali groups. Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bahujan Samaj Party-Akali bonhomie are also looking to take advantage of the Captain-Congress conflict with an aim of winning the elections.
