Analysis | Punjab Assembly election 2022 set to see new dynamics

The Hindu  

With former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh announcing that he is set to float his own party and declaring that he is open to an alliance with the Bharatiya Janta Party, the 2022 Assembly election in the State is likely to see new political dynamics. Singh’s proposed new party and the possible alliance would be an early resolution of ongoing farmers’ agitation against the Centre’s farm laws. Boost for BJP For the BJP, which has over the years remained a ‘junior partner’ in alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal in Punjab, the new alliance could give a much-needed boost. The question is would the new Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi be able to swing the Dalit vote en masse, which at least for now looks a difficult task,” Mr. Kumar added.
