After winning 20 seats in the 2017 polls, the AAP becamethe principal opposition party in Punjab. The party is banking on its Delhimodel of free electricity to win votes in the Congress ruled state.
In June last year, Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal had saidthat a member of the Sikh community would be the party's Chief Minister 'face'in Punjab.
According to political analysts, the Congress' days inpower are numbered in the state, but the Shiromani Akali Dal and the BharatiyaJanata Party too would not be able to perform as well as the Aam Aadmi Party inthe state.
The AAP has been supportive of the farmers' protest thathas been taking place on the outskirts of the national capital since the past10 months. Farmers, mainly from Punjab, Harayana and Uttar Pradesh, have campedat different Delhi borders since last September.
