Majithia was the main campaign manager for Jaitley in Amritsar. He is the brother-in-law of Punjab Deputy Chief Minister and ruling Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal and heads the party's youth wing.
The opposition Congress and Amarinder Singh had complained to the EC that Majithia was allegedly intimidating voters in Amritsar.
The entry of AAP could change the equation on at least 7-8 seats in the state. Some of the AAP candidates like comedian-actor turned politician Bhagwant Mann (Sangrur), lawyer-activist H.S. Phoolka (Ludhiana) and cardiologist-social activist Dharamveer Gandhi (Patiala) have campaigned hard for their respective seats.
Senior leaders in the fray include Punjab Congress president and sitting MP Pratap Singh Bajwa against three-time BJP MP and actor Vinod Khanna (Gurdaspur), union minister and Amarinder Singh's wife Preneet Kaur who is a Congress candidate (Patiala), former union minister and Congress candidate Ambika Soni (Anandpur Sahib) and former chief minister Beant Singh's grandson, Ravneet Bittu (Ludhiana).
This time, the Congress has fielded bigwigs like Amarinder Singh to take on the Akali Dal-BJP alliance, which has been ruling Punjab since 2007.
