History

In 1992 the Indian National Congress captured 87 of 117 Punjab seats, but the 1997 election handed a majority to the Shiromani Akali Dal, installing Parkash Singh Badal as chief minister. That swing from Congress dominance to SAD rule frames Rahul Gandhi’s November 4, 2026 “Hisab Maango” rally in Sangrur, where he revives Congress’s challenge to the state government.
