In the ongoing Jalandhar West Assembly bypoll, AAP candidate Mohinder Bhagat has taken a significant lead after the first round of counting. Surpassing his opponents, Congress and BJP candidates, Bhagat is ahead by over 25,000 votes. The bypoll for this constituency was called due to the resignation of Sheetal Angural. With 15 candidates vying for the seat, the battleground is set for a fierce competition in determining the new MLA for Jalandhar West.
The Jalandhar West Assembly constituency is a crucial urban area in Punjab, part of the Jalandhar Lok Sabha constituency with a total of 117 seats in the Punjab state Assembly. The assembly seat is categorized as Scheduled Caste with immense significance in the political landscape of the region.
In the previous 2022 Assembly elections, Sheetal Angural of AAP emerged victorious against rival Sushil Kumar Rinku of INC by a narrow margin of 4,253 votes. However, the dynamics have drastically shifted in the current bypoll, with AAP’s lead candidate Mohinder Bhagat showcasing a strong lead in the early trends.
Ahead of the Lok Sabha debacle, where Congress outperformed AAP in this constituency, the AAP has strategically positioned itself for success. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s proactive campaigning strategy, coupled with his family’s direct involvement in addressing public concerns, has resonated positively with voters. The party’s stronghold in Jalandhar West is evident as AAP’s candidate maintains a commanding lead over the contenders.
As the counting progresses, the momentum seems to favor AAP, signaling a potential victory for Mohinder Bhagat.
