Summary:
For the Congress the situation is worse than it appears, as it has not tasted victory in the last eight elections. In addition, sitting MP Sher Singh Ghubaya who had won last two elections in 2009 and 2014 on SAD has now strained relations with the party and making efforts for Congress ticket. Many of the villages in Ferozepur and Fazilka districts have their water sources contaminated and instances of cancer and skin diseases are high. In the 2017 state assembly elections, BJP’s Arun Narang had defeated the now Punjab Congress president Sunil Jakhar from Abohar segment that falls in Ferozeopur.By the virtue of being a border constituency, voters here have lots of unresolved issues. The kinnow growers had to face lots of problems due to water logging in Abohar area but again there has been no lasting solution in sight..
