Punjab polling ended on Saturday with 66 per cent turnout till 4 pm. All the big-wigs from parties came to state who they thought would win. Things got ugly as accusations were hurled at politicians by other politicians, calling them “defectors”, “ISI funded”, “drama-queens”. Bikers opened fire at a Ferozepur polling booth but no casualties were reported.

What first time voters want from this election is not a party that comes to power and puts the party first but puts Punjab first and generates employment.
