AAP surge forth in Punjab, many biggies trail

Punjab: As numbers add on at the counting centres across the state, prospects of AAP’s definite showdown in the state is unquestionable. In the onrush of AAP, many prominent faces in the state are trailing in the first two hours of the counting. Those in the blues include five-time former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, Congress chief ministerial candidate and incumbent Charanjit Singh, and Congress state unit chief Navjot Sidhu from Amritsar (East), among others. AAP's chief ministerial face and sitting MP Bhagwant Mann is leading from Dhuri, the seat from where he's trying luck for the first time, reports say.
