Background and overview

Political Overview

See also: 2021 Indian Punjab political crisis

In the 2017 Punjab Legislative Assembly election, the Indian National Congress won 77 out of 117 total seats. This landslide victory pushed the ruling alliance between Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to third place with only 18 seats. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) came in second, winning 20 seats and forming the official opposition in Punjab.[4]

The former Leader of the Opposition, Sukhpal Singh Khaira, joined Congress on 2 June 2021 along with Bhadaur MLA Pirmal Singh Dhaula and Maur MLA Jagdev Singh Kamalu. This reduced the AAP's seat count from 19 to 16 in the Punjab Legislative Assembly.[5]

In the 2021 Chandigarh Municipal Corporation election that occurred in December 2021, the Aam Aadmi Party won 14 seats and became the single largest party in the council of total 35 seats.[6]

Farmers Protest in election year

See also: 2020–2021 Indian farmers' protest

The Parliament of india passed 3 agricultural farm laws in Lok Sabha on 17 September 2020 and in the Rajya Sabha on 20 September 2020.[7] The President of India, Ram Nath Kovind, gave his assent on 27 September 2020.[8] Farmers started protest in punjab in late 2020. Protest were against central government. Farmers Union started campaigning against central government. Punjab is agricultural state and it will effect punjab elections. On 19 November 2021, the union government decided to repeal the bills.[9]

New Developments

Political alliances

Shiromani Akali Dal dissolved its alliance with the BJP, which had lasted over two decades, over the controversial Farm Bills passed by the BJP-controlled Indian Parliament in 2020.[10]

In addition, the Lok Insaaf Party and Aam Aadmi Party had also contested the 2017 election in an alliance but broke their alliance as well.[11]

On 13 June 2021, SAD and BSP announced an alliance for the assembly election with 97-20 seat sharing.[12]

Resignation by Chief Minister

On 18 September 2021, Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh resigned over differences with other members of Congress and was succeeded by Charanjit Singh Channi.[13][14]

On 27 October 2021, Singh announced he would be forming a new party to contest the election.[15] He officially resigned from Indian National Congress on 2 November 2021, and founded a new political party, Punjab Lok Congress.[16]
