Congress to return to power in Punjab with 60-65 seats: Poll
A survey conducted by the India Today-Axis has predicted that Captain Amarinder Singh-led Congress would return to power in Punjab by winning 60-65 seats in the 117-member Assembly. While the survey gives 41-44 seats to the AAP, it predicts that the ruling Akali Dal-BJP alliance would be reduced to only 11-15 seats.
The India Today-Axis survey ahead of the crucial Assembly elections in five states predicts a hung Assembly in Uttar Pradesh and a major boost to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab.While the Congress is likely to snatch Punjab from the Akali-Dal-BJP combine, the BJP is likely to trump the Congress to power in Uttarakhand and retain Goa.
