Though the BJP was expecting the role of a kingmaker in the Punjab assembly elections but going by the current trends of counting the party is heading towards a crushing defeat. At present, the party is leading on just two seats.
Party’s state president Ashwani Sharma is leading from Pathankot by 7,628 votes andJangi Lal Mahajan is leading by 1,213 votes from Mukerian.Four days back, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and party president JP Nadda had claimed that the party would do better in Punjab and was hoping for an important role for the BJP in government formation in Punjab.Since 2014, election after election, it has been a trend that the people in Punjab were not swayed by the Modi wave. This was visible in the current elections as well as the magic seems to have failed to sway the Punjabis.
