CONGRESS WINS GURDASPUR BYPOLL BY RECORD BREAKING MARGIN OF 1.93 LAKH VOTE




After Vinod Khanna Demise, Big Election Begin in Gurdaspur bypoll which lead to Congress victory in this 2017 elections. As Vinod Khanna was one of big political leader of BJP. There was a chance of big win for BJP but after his demise and result broke out and congress won. Congress win lok sabha seat, claim victory mandate over policies of Narender modi. Congress on Sunday wrested the Gurdaspur Lok Sabha seat from the BJP, with the party’s candidate Sunil Jakhar winning the bypoll by a record margin of over 1.93 lakh votes. Jakhar polled 499,752 votes against 306,553 votes cast for Swaran Singh Salaria, the BJP candidate. Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Suresh Khajuria polled 23,579 votes, and lost his security deposit. Both Salaria and Khajuria accused the Congress of using state machinery for the victory, a charge Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh denied while addressing the media in Chandigarh later.

The record for the biggest victory margin for Gurdaspur seat until now lay with Congress’s Sukhbans Kaur Bhinder, who had won with a margin of 1.51 lakh votes in 1980. The margin seems more impressive when seen against the much lower voter turnout of 56%, against 70% polling recorded in 2014 Lok Sabha elections, when actor-turned- politician Vinod Khanna defeated Congress’s Partap Singh Bajwa by 1.36 lakh votes.

The bypoll was necessitated by Khanna’s death earlier this year. Claiming that his victory has “sent a clear message to the Central government on behalf of the whole country that people are fed up with its policies” Jakhar said, “I had said from the beginning that this election will be a mandate on the Narendra Modi government’s policies. I had asked people to vote for me, and against the BJP’s economic and communal agenda. People have shown their anger against demonetization and GST by
making me the MP from Gurdaspur”. In Sujanpur, BJP had won in the Vidhan Sabha polls
by 18,701 votes, Jakhar’s lead was 6,701 votes. At 26,255 votes, his lead was even more impressive in Batala Assembly segment, which Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) candidate Lakhbir Singh
Lodhinangal had won earlier this year. Dera Baba Nanak Assembly segment also came as a huge
advantage for Jakhar - his lead there was 44,074 votes.

Former minister in the erstwhile SAD-BJP government Sucha Singh Langah, who had contested unsuccessfully from Dera Baba Nanak in 2012 and 2017 state elections, was booked in a rape case on September 28, just as the bypoll campaign was gathering momentum. Former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu, a minister in the Amarinder cabinet, blamed alleged corruption by SAD president and former deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal and his brother-in- law former cabinet minister Bikram Singh Majithia for the BJP’s defeat. He said, “It is the defeat of jeeja-saala (brothers- in-law). People have shown them their place. Now both have become burden on the BJP.
