The Lok Sabha seat of Amritsar is being considered as the one that will witness a major face-off. The major candidates who will be contesting elections from this seat are Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal (AAP), Taranjit Singh Sandhu (BJP), Gurmeet Aujla (Congress), and Anil Joshi (SAD). As per the analysis, the major fight is between Congress’s Gurmeet Aujla and AAP’s Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal. For Kuldeep Dhaliwal what works in favour is that he is the Jaat face of Amritsar. Apart from this, Dhaliwal enjoys a good image and has a lot of support from NRIs. Also, the freebies given by AAP may add to his chances of winning. On the other hand, Gurmeet Aujla is also a strong contender as he won the 2017 by-elections and the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
In the last assembly elections that took place in the year 2019, Amritsar saw a total voting percentage of 57.07 per cent. However, this year the voting percentage is 54.02%.
