WJKK WJKF It is for sure that Akali Dal (Badal) won't get even a single seat in 2017 assembly elections (I am actually wondering how many of Akali candidates Zamanat will be surrendered) and the situation of BJP is not going to be any good. What I want to start a thread is to brainstorm what are the options for SIKH VOTE as we should definately NOT VOTE FOR Congress which was responsible for 1984 SIKH Genocide. On the other hand, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is trying to gain strength in Punjab. I actually like some of the work being done by AAP in Delhi where there is some good development work happening. Punjab demographics are very interesting - approx. 55% SIKHS, approx. 45% Hindus. The options in front of SIKHS are - (a). Allow AAP on all constituencies and allow AAP to cover complete strength in Punjab. This option eliminates SIKHS completely from the political circles and is something which I personally will never recommend. (b). Another option is for SAD (MAAN) group to be a little pragmatic, keep a hold on KHALISTAN target for a while, form an alliance with AAP and a shared seat arrangement to contest with AAP. This option makes it practical to get the Gurudwaras/SGPC out of political clutches of Badal. ©. An option for SAD (MAAN) to win 2017 elections on its own and get a majority on its own is probably not possible as the HINDU vote bank will not vote for SAD (MAAN). Having an alliance with AAP can win the Hindu vote bank in favour of alliance. SIKHS should NEVER EVER vote for Congress and SHOULD NOT allow Congress/Amarandir Gill to fill the vaccum left by kicking out BADAL.
