Badal has won.
" New Delhi, February 27
The Akali Dal-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday stormed to power in Punjab, while the BJP scored a morale-boosting win in Uttarakhand in the Assembly polls, dealing major blows to an already besieged Congress ahead of the politically decisive Uttar Pradesh ballot.
Tens of thousands of jubilant Akali Dal and BJP supporters celebrated the twin victories all over Punjab and Uttarakhand as the Congress struggled to remain ahead of the pack in Manipur, where voters seemed intent on throwing up another hung Assembly.
A jubilant Parkash Singh Badal, 80, was set to become the Chief Minister of Punjab for the fourth time at the head of an Akali Dal-BJP coalition, having led a bitter battle for electoral power against a determined Congress. "
