[QUOTE="kds1980, post: 101617, member: 1178"] Majority of sikhs voted for akali dal in punjab [url]http://www.hinduonnet.com/nic/howindiavoted2009/page6.pdf[/url] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Punjab, a resurgent Congress increased its vote share by 10 percentage points since 2004. Paradoxical as it may sound, the verdict came as a relief for some Akalis who had feared a complete rout. They managed to save face by winning two seats each in Majha and Malwa regions. In the Congress bastion of Deoba, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) was rejected. With an almost 44 per cent vote share, the Akali Dal-Bharatiya Janata Party combine was only one percentage point short of the Congress count. The Congress consolidated its position in its rural stronghold, but the NDA lost a part of its traditional urban voters. The Congress clocked a seven-percentage point lead among urban voters. The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP)seems to have lost substantial ground in Punjab, with its vote share declining from 7.6 per cent in 2004 to 5.8 per cent in 2009. Around 40 per cent of respondents agreed with the proposition that the Congress declared Manmohan Singh as its Prime Ministerial candidate only to woo Sikh voters. But more Hindus than Sikhs in Punjab expressed faith in his leadership. At 42 per cent, his popularity in Punjab is higher than anywhere else in the country and much higher than the neighbouring States. On the development front, 30 per cent valued the work done by the State government while 26 per cent preferred the work done by Central government. As many as 69 per cent of the respondents were happy with the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government’s performance while 56 per cent were satisfied with the Akali-NDA government. The opposition leader, Capt. Amarinder Singh of the Congress, is a more preferred candidate for the Chief Minister’s post than the present Chief Minister, Parkash Singh Badal. His attempt to induct his son may have politically harmed him. Around 39 per cent felt that Sukhbir Singh Badal lacked the experience to be Punjab’s Deputy Chief Minister and 29 thought otherwise. Thirty-two per cent had no opinion on this issue. Allegations of vindictive politics and rigging in the last panchayat and municipal elections may also have harmed the Akali-BJP combine’s prospects. The Sikhs were firmly behind the Akali-BJP combine. But the Congress has a 20 percentage point lead over the NDA among Hindu upper caste voters. The BSP got 20 per cent of the Dalit vote, mostly from the Ramdasia community, but was way behind the Congress, which continues to command the support of 60 per cent of Punjab’s Scheduled Caste voters. Voters in Punjab think the Congress can effectively maintain law and order, solve the Sutlej-Yamuna water dispute, curb corruption, take care of the Dalit interests, and maintain good relations between Hindus and Sikhs. However, the Akali Dal is seen as a party capable of solving the agrarian crisis. This means that all is still not lost for the Akalis in Punjab. Sikhs still back the Akali Dal, but the Congress has solid support from Hindu upper class and Dalit voters [/QUOTE]
