Barring Congress and Akali Dal-BJP, no party opens its account
Polarisation in Punjab has now reached its extreme. Barring the Akali Dal-BJP combine and the Congress, no other party could open its account. The BSP, CPI, CPI (M) , Akali Dal (Mann) and the various fringe Akali Dals failed to open their account.
During the previous assembly session, the CPI had two MLAs, but they later joined the Congress.
