Punjab forms the northwest part of India. It's capital is Chandigarh, which is a Union territory and also a capital of Haryana. A land of the people following Sikhism, Panjab is probably one fo the most cheerful and happy states in India.
In the political scenario, Punjab has three main parties divided into two factions, NDA and Congress. The NDA part comprises of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), while UPA is dominated mainly by the Congress. The SAD comprises of several break-away factions of what once was a unified Akali Dal. BJP has mainly played a supporting role, mainly trying to consolidate the Hindu votes in favour of the alliance. Congress had an upperhand in the 2002 assembly elections, but SAD+BJP combine bounced back quite easily in the 2007 polls.SAD is Major player in NDA .Though SAD is know as Sikh party , but it has tragedian fate that hardliner Sikhs think that SAD is not a Sikh party while Hardline Hindus wont vote for SAD considering as Sikh party . Though congress consider it self as Secular party, but it leaves no stone unturned to win over various sects . Like in 2007 if baba rahim have not supported congress election , congress would have won only a dozen seats .
