Chandigarh: The opinion polls shows the Congress and the Shiromani Akali Dal-BJP alliance settling for a status-quo in Punjab -- but there is a shift in trends towards the SAD-BJP combine.
In February, the Congress was predicted to win eight of the 13 seats - the same as it did in 2009. The NDA was shown to be ahead in five seats.
The balance now seems to have shifted slightly. In opinion polls conducted in the first week of April, the Akali Dal-BJP combine is predicted to win seven seats, two more than they won in 2009. The Congress is likely to get six seats.
The Akali Dal has governed the state since 2007 and bucked the trend of anti-incumbency in the assembly polls held two years ago.
