The secondary sources of information have been used for this study in the form of books, journals, articles, research papers, newspapers, etc. Being the federal system in India, elections are conducted at the central and state level. The state level elections are important because the states have been assigned an important role in the Indian political system. Every state election has to play a significant role in sending its representatives to the legislative assembly of the state and the Indian Parliament. State level parties are also known as regional parties. Punjab is a state in the northwest region of India. Out of the 13 Lok Sabha seats in Punjab, the Congress party secured 7 seats while the ruling Aam Aadmi Party secured 3 seats only. Independent candidates Amritpal Singh and Sarabjit Singh won the Khadur Sahib and Faridkot seats respectively. Along with this Shiromani Akali Dal managed to save its seat in Bathinda only. BJP failed to open its account in the state. But BJP’s vote percentage has increased in Punjab. Thus, in the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections, some new trends have been seen in Punjab Politics.
