Bhatinda Elections

Crisscrossing three Hindi heartland states, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said a "Modi wave" is coming from every home in India and also escalated the attack on Congress president Rahul Gandhi over the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

Campaigning for Congress's Bathinda candidate Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, Amrita Warring slammed sitting lawmaker Harsimrat Kaur Badal for "doing nothing" for the constituency in a decade.

A Sikh man and his wife are sitting on one of the corner benches of platform number 1 at Bhatinda's Railway station. Sukhpal and Magar are waiting to board the train to Bikaner, Rajasthan -- something they do at least once every month.

With all the high profile battles of Punjab - whether it's the Arun Jaitley vs Captain Amarinder Singh contest in Amritsar, Harsimrat Kaur Badal vs Manpreet Singh Badal fight in Bhatinda or Pratap Singh Bajwa vs. Vinod Khanna faceoff in Gurdaspur - hogging all the attention, could the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) emerge as the X-factor?

With assembly elections due in Punjab, political parties are fighting it out, quite literally. A tussle took place between workers of the ruling Shromani Akali Dal and the Congress at village Dyalpura Bhai turned violent. Four vehicles were smashed and many rounds were fired in the air, creating tension in the village and surrounding areas.

The Congress celebrated Baishaki with Rahul Gandhi's first visit to Punjab this election season.
