The Aam Aadmi Party is heading for a clean sweep in Punjab having taken a lead in 88 of the 117 assembly seats after initial rounds of counting of votes on March 10.
Voting for 59 Assembly constituencies spread across 16 districts of UP is underway on Sunday. Polling started at 7 am and will continue till 6 pm. This is the 3rd phase of Assembly polls in the state, where elections are to be held in 7 rounds. Meanwhile, polling for 117 constituencies for Punjab Assembly elections began at 8 am today amid tight security.
A major security lapse forced Prime Minister Narendra Modi's cavalcade to return to Bathinda in Punjab on Wednesday. The Prime Minister was on way to Ferozpur via road when protesters blocked the highway due to which PM Modi was stuck on a flyover for over 20 minutes. The Prime Minister had to address a poll rally and lay the foundation stone of the Delhi-Amritsar-Katra expressway among other developmental projects ahead of assembly elections in the state. However, after the security breach, he had to cancel the event.
