Punjab Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Everything you need to know about the general elections in Punjab, including the schedule, phase, seats

Punjab Lok Sabha Elections 2024 Date: Unlike other states, Punjab will have several powerful candidates running in the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections, each of whom has the ability to turn the tide and win a majority. As a result, Punjab is expected to be one of the most active states.

Punjab has a long history of acting as a bellwether in the Lok Sabha Elections, indicating national trends and forecasting the direction of the new administration. The surprising victory of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in 2014 stunned the country, and the BJP’s outstanding showing in 2019 proved its national wave.

Punjab’s elections include a fight between several parties, including the Congress, the state’s most prominent and established party, and the incumbent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), rather than a race between two parties or an alliance. The BJP is still a strong opponent even after losing the 2022 Assembly elections. The state’s political environment is further complicated by regional players like the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).
