I don't believe any of the parties running for election were any good. It's about the lesser evil in my opinion.
Everyone knows about Badal, his past. The police brutality, the drug trade, farming, etc...everything has been worsened over time with Badal in power.
The congress, well let's face it; is merely a puppet for Delhi. And Delhi doesn't care about whats really going on in Punjab besides food productivity. Punjab is the smallest area in all of India, yet feeds the majority of it.
I had high hopes for PPP, but I think they are just vomiting shit and saying whatever and joining any organization that is popular at the moment. I do acknowledge them attempting to get the younger generation more involved, as they had a facebook page that I followed and many others did as well. However, Bagwant Maan openly supporting baba's (i think it was the nirankari one) and PPP supporting Anna Hazare (as corrupt as they come) didn't go well with me and probably didn't go well with the younger generation.
Punjab needs something new, someone refreshing.
