Poll,Campaign and Result of 2009 Losabha

Both Akali and Congress parties showed interest for the development of common people in their campaign.They were more concerned with the well-being of farmers, poor people and students .Akali attached the issues of economic development ,awareness about environment to their regional issues.It demanded fresh CBI and Election Commission appointments. .Akali was confirmed to punish those who were involved in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.They complained that Congress in centre had compromised the water of Punjab. The Shiromani Akali Dal charged Indian National Congress as it had left Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler who were being continuously accused in the anti-Sikh riots cases.Congress campaign against Akali Dal saying that 'Goondaraj' is going on in Punjab' .The Congress told to implement a law to empower the National Human Rights Commission to investigate in all cases of communal riot.Manmohan Singh and Advani were projected as the leader of Congress and BJP respectively at national ground.Amarinder Singh and Badal were the leaders at regional level.Congress also objected that Badal was thinking the party as his family party.Thus the two big parties did not leave any chance to retreat.
Congress objected that ruling Akali Party was frightening the Congress workers and would certainly make a mess in the Loksabha Election .So poll was taken in phases one on May 7 and the other on May 13, 2009.But the possibility of violence and horror found nowhere in the Election.Even the poll percentage was seen higher than the previous turnout in2004 Loksabha.69.58 lagged the turnout 61.59 of 2004 behind.Rural citizen was much more enthusiastic than the urban one.While the urban people voted for the Congress ,the rural preferred the Akali

Arun Jaitley ,who is being criticized for being an outsider by the former Chief Minister of Punjab,Amarinder Sing, hs banged this notion.Prakash Sing Badal,the Chief Minister of Punjab has given a breaking speech that if the people of Punjab would elect Arun Jaitly,he would become the Deputy Prime Minister of India in NDA Government.The reality of this news is still to be proved.Yet it has become an issue to discus even within the party.The good relation between Modi and Jaitly ignites this debate.
