Seventh phase of Lok Sabha elections 2024 are underway. Polling in all 13 constituencies of Punjab is going on. As such, Punjab voters are very enthusiastic to cast their votes. 9.64% of voters cast their vote across the state in the first two hours of polling. By 11 AM, the rural areas in Jalandhar saw a higher voter turnout than the urban areas.
The major candidates who contested elections from this seat are Pawan Kumar Tinu (AAP), Sushil Kumar Rinku (BJP), Charanjit Singh Channi (Congress), and Mohinder Singh Kaypee (SAD). Jalandhar would again be an interesting face-off for upcoming assembly elections. As Channi and Tinu who are known Dalit face contested against Sushil Rinku who has changed parties for third time but enjoys a good repo among Jalandhar residents. On Jalandhar’s Lok Sabha Seat the main fight would be between Congress candidate and former Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi and BJP’s Sushil Rinku as per analysis. However, the result might come as a surprise for everyone as political dynamics change a lot even in the last days of elections.
