Amritsar East, the hottest seat of Punjab: Electoral battle in Sidhu-Majithia; political defeat of any one for the first time; The rest of the veterans are fighting for the safe seat

Amritsar East has now become the hottest seat of the assembly elections in Punjab. Here veteran Akali leader Bikram Majithia will be in the fray against state Congress chief Navjot Sidhu. This fight in Punjab politics is interesting in many ways. This is the first seat where the veterans will be face-to-face in this time’s assembly elections. In the last Vis election, Captain Amarinder Singh and Parkash Singh Badal from Lambi seat, Bhagwant Mann contested against Sukhbir Badal from Jalalabad. This time all of them are fighting from a safe seat.

Sidhu and Majithia have been face to face many times in the assembly as well.

An interesting aspect of this biggest electoral battle of Punjab will also be that it will be the first political defeat of the one who will lose the election between Sidhu or Majithia. Majithia has been winning Vis elections for three consecutive times from the Majitha seat of Amritsar. Sidhu has not lost any election till date. It is sure that whoever wins the election, the political stature of that leader will definitely increase in the party and Punjab politics.

Sidhu won the assembly elections from Amritsar East in 2017

Political threat more for Sidhu, claim for one seat and CM face

The entry of Bikram Majithia in the match is a big threat for Navjot Sidhu. Sidhu is contesting from this Amritsar East only. On the other hand, Majithia will also contest from his old seat, Majithia. If Sidhu loses, there will be a big crisis for his political life. Majithia has a substitute for Majitha. Second, Sidhu is continuously staking claim for the CM face. If he is defeated in any way, then his claim will also end.

Sidhu won last time by 43 thousand votes

Navjot Sidhu had contested from Amritsar East for the first time in 2017. He got 60 thousand 477 votes. He defeated Akali-BJP alliance candidate Rajesh Kumar Honey by 42 Thousand 809 votes. Honey got only 17,668 votes. At number three was Aam Aadmi Party’s Sarbjot Dhanjal. Who got 14 thousand 715 votes.

Congress won 2 times, then BJP and Congress’s Sidhu won for the fourth time.

The Congress has dominated Amritsar East, which became the hottest seat of Punjab. Congress won from here in 2002 and 2007. After this, in 2012, Navjot Kaur Sidhu, wife of Navjot Sidhu, won the election from here as an Akali-BJP candidate. He got 33 thousand 406 votes. He defeated Independent Simarpreet Kaur by 7 thousand 99 votes. After this the Sidhu couple left the BJP and joined the Congress. Navjot Sidhu contested the 2017 election and won.

Because of the big fight… on the insistence of Sidhu, a case was registered against Majithia.

The fight between Sidhu and Majithia is big because Navjot Sidhu is the biggest reason in registering a drug case against Majithia. In order to file a case against Majithia, Sidhu razed his own CM Charanjit Channi government. Even after resigning from the post of Punjab Congress chief, Sidhu got the first Advocate General APS Deol replaced. In his place, his close advocate DS Patwalia was made AG.

After this, DGP Iqbalpreet Sahota was removed. Sidhu’s close aide Siddharth Chattopadhyay was made DGP. After this, a drug case was registered against Majithia. Now Majithia is not getting bail and is trying to avoid arrest by giving up campaigning.

Akali Dal’s double bet – showed aggressive attitude, strategy to surround Sidhu in the house

This will be considered a double bet of Akali Dal. One, the Akali Dal showed an aggressive stand in the Punjab elections. So far, the giants were shying away from landing anywhere in front of each other. On which the Akali Dal has played a big bet. In such a situation, this decision of Akali Dal will definitely bring the party into discussion.

Second, the Akali Dal has also increased Sidhu’s concern. If Majithia fights from Amritsar East, Akali Dal will focus here. Due to which Sidhu will have to focus on his seat along with winning the elections in Punjab. The Akali Dal has devised a strategy to surround Sidhu in the house.

This fight is important because… for the first time the veterans focus on the safe seat

Sidhu and Majithia’s face-off in Punjab is also important because for the first time the veterans are focusing on the safe seat. Last time Captain Amarinder Singh went to fight against Parkash Singh Badal in Lambi. AAP had also fielded Jarnail Singh from Delhi. However, he could not defeat Badal. This time Captain is fighting from Patiala seat. Congress has fielded Jagpal Singh and AAP has fielded Gurmeet Khudiyan from here.

From Jalalabad, Aam Aadmi Party had fielded MP Bhagwant Mann and Congress had fielded MP Ravneet Bittu. However, Sukhbir Badal won. This time no big face has been fielded against the veterans from both the seats. Last time Bhagwant Mann had reached against Sukhbir Badal to contest elections. This time he is contesting the election from Dhuri. At the same time, Congress had also fielded Ravneet Bittu. This time Bittu is not contesting the elections. AAP has fielded Goldie Kamboj from here.
