The counting of votes has started in the Bathinda Lok Sabha seat and the trends are continuously emerging. Harsimrat Kaur Badal is leading in this seat after the fifth round, while AAP's Gurmeet Singh Khudiya is second. There is going to be a very exciting competition during the Lok Sabha elections.

Among the 13 Lok Sabha seats of Punjab, Bathinda is included in the list of hot seats. The reason for this is that former Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal is a candidate from here. All the members of the Badal family, who have a big influence in the politics of the state, were defeated in the last assembly elections.

This time party president Sukhbir Badal also decided not to contest the Lok Sabha elections. Therefore, the big responsibility of keeping the Badal family alive politically has fallen on the shoulders of Harsimrat Kaur Badal. After all, Harsimrat Kaur Badal has won the Lok Sabha elections from here 3 times in a row, but this time everyone has a special eye on this seat.

Harsimrat Kaur Badal (Akali Dal) 62808

Gurmeet Singh Khudian (AAP) 58810

Jeet Mahendra Singh (Congress) 30476

Parampal Kaur Sidhu (BJP) 18260
