The Punjab government suffered a major setback in the Supreme Court on Wednesday after its plea to cancel Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira's bail - in a criminal intimidation case - was rejected.
As Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa conveys his colleagues’ “anti-alliance sentiment” to high command, others remain in favour of a tie-up with AAP.
Accusing the AAP government of “converting Punjab into an absolute police state, where the voices of dissent were being strangulated mercilessly”, Bajwa said, "The state government has stooped to an all-time low and now resorted to petty vendetta politics”.
The BJP retained Bageshwar in Uttarakhand and Dhanpur and Boxanagar in Tripura. The TMC secured Dhupguri, the Congress won Puthuppally in Kerala, SP won Ghosi in Uttar Pradesh, JMM won Dumri in Jharkhand
