Nawanshahr
In Nawanshahr, for the first time in years, Congress is notin direct domination in the elections. As a result, after canceling the ticket ofthe current MLA Angad Singh, the Congress has chosen Satbir Singh Palli Jhikkias its candidate. Satvir Singh Palli Jhikki of Nawanshahr's 15-year strugglefor a ticket ended when the Congress chose him to replace sitting MLA AngadSingh Saini.
Dr. Nachhatar Pal of the BSP-Akali coalition is attemptingto profit from Congress's divide. Dr. Nachhatar Pal of the alliance, LalitMohan Ballu of the Aam Aadmi Party, and Azad Angad Singh of the Aam Aadmi Partyare all running for this seat. Lalit Mohan Ballu, Nachhatar Pal, Angad Singh,and Satbir are also exchanging strong and personal barbs. In the villages,Lalit Mohan Ballu is supported by the name of Bhagwant Mann, while Satbir SinghPalli is harming Jhikki to independent Angad Singh.
Big Issues:
1. Stadium
2. Sand smuggling
3. Drunk and sewerage in the roads
4. Broken roads
5. Street lights
Caste factor:
1. Highest Dalit Voter (40%)
2. Jatt Sikh (18%)
3. Saini Voter (12%)
But the seat was dominated by the Saini society. Angad Singh(Independent), Satbir Singh (Congress), and Kuldeep (Sanyukt Samaj Morcha), allthree are from Saini society. It also proves that the claims that are given bythe Punjab present CM and Punjab Congress of making a Dalit CM also goes south.
Banga
Dr. SK Sukhi, a SAD BSP candidate and current MLA, is astrong candidate in this district. Sukhi's image is also evident as a result ofthe BSP-SAD alliance. However, Tirlochan Sundh of the Congress and KuljeetSarhal of the AAP have formed a triangular contest.
Big Issues:
The majority of the concerns stem from the state siteitself. Where the Akali BSP is criticizing Congress's work over the last fiveyears, Congressmen are soliciting votes in the name of CM Channi.
Caste factor:
Banga's seat is reserved due to caste. It has a maximum of42 percent SC voters, and close to 18 percent Jatt Sikh votes.
Balachaur
Sunita Chaudhary of the Akali BSP and Santosh Kataria of theAAP are vying for the seat now held by Congress MLA Darshan Lal Mangpur.Kataria is campaigning on behalf of Mann and Kejriwal. After JP Nadda's rally,the BJP has also entered the race.
Big Issues:
1. Sand mafia
2. Drug trade
The opposition is also trying to surround Congress on thisissue.
While Congress is seeking votes in the name of the openingof colleges, ITIs, and roads.
Caste factor:
Balachaur is a Gujjar majority seat and has close to 30% Gujjarvotes. Apart from this, SC and Jatt Sikhs are around 22 to 25%. In all themajor parties, only Gujjar candidates have been given tickets.
