Punjab to slip into poll fever again
WSN Network

CHANDIGARH: Punjab will soon be in the grip of election fever once again as the three Assembly seats of Jalalabad, Kahnuwan and Banur will go to polls on August 3. Since Sukhbir Singh Badal cannot remain a member of the ministry without being elected by July 21, there is no way he can escape resigning. Chances are that he will quit Deputy Chief Ministership and then fight the Assembly seat of Jalalabad that fell vacant following election of Sher Singh Ghubaya to Lok Sabha recently.

The Banur seat had fallen vacant following the death of Akali minister Capt Kanwaljit Singh in a road mishap while the Kahnuwan fell vacant as sitting MLA Partap Singh Bajwa of Congress won Gurdaspur Lok Sabha seat.

The last date for nominations is July 16 and the votes would be counted on August 6.
