Summary:
JALANDHAR: The Congress may just face a tough challenge in near future if AAP MLAs H S Phoolka and Sukhpal Khaira vacate their legislative constituencies. He lost to Phoolka by 4,349 votes, while Congress candidate Major Singh Bhaini could secure just 28,571 votes. The fifth one was between Khaira as an AAP candidate and Bhupinder, who was Jagir’s stand-in nominee. Even in Jaitu, whose AAP MLA Master Baldev Singh resigned on Wednesday, the Congress faces a close fight. Given its strong presence in both seats, SAD could have a revival of its fortunes in byelections to the two seats..
