Future Power Shift In Punjab?

[11qwert11]

The Badal family are beginning to count their days. The new generations are somewhat educated so the political powers in punjab will shift.

Where is this power shift going to go ? What changes will the future bring? And realistically how will it effect the average "sikh"

I think the AAP has promising future in Punjab. And AAP seems way better than AKali or Congress.

The Badal's are finished and the assembly elections in a few years time will see their demise. They are trying to fool the Panth by taking the issue of Haryana gurdwara committee but most Sikhs have seen through their games. They made their party into a Punjabi party and Sukhbir was quoted as saying that they have ditched the Panthic agenda before the Lok Sabha elections. Now that they have been badly beaten and lost the Panthic votes to AAP they are playing the 'Panth in danger' card.

The AAP got the Panthic vote from the traditionally Akali rural areas especially in Malwa. They need to keep the momentum and try and win at least one of the two assembly byelections either Patiala or Talwandi Sabo. AAP need to make an effort to win the Talwandi Sabo assembly seat as this is a part of Harsimrat Badal's Bathinda lok sabha seat. If AAP were to win this seat the momentum would stay with them. The Akalis are already depressed after the way they lost their traditional vote in the Lok Sabha elections. AAP need to choose a good candidate, maybe Harvinder Singh Phoolka should be their candidate as the Akalis have announced a former Congressi who switched to Badal's Akali dal before the lok sabha election.

Best case scenario is that AAP will keep winning in the future elections of Punjab and the congress and Akali Dal both begin to finally lose their grip on power. Worst case scenario is if geopolitical situation of the region in addition to people's frustration with unemployment, drugs problem, political family dynastic rule and the situation deteriorates into violence and chaos
