The Malwa belt in Punjab holds significant political influence, with parties vying for supremacy in this region during elections. Comprising 69 Assembly seats out of 117 in the state, it often determines the government’s formation. The region has seen leaders like Parkash Singh Badal and Amarinder Singh, who rose to become chief ministers. The farmers’ agitation against the farm laws was centered here. AAP’s dominance in the 2022 Assembly polls, winning 66 out of 69 seats, underscores its political significance. Majha and Doaba regions also play crucial roles, with Majha being the ‘Panthic’ belt and Doaba having a substantial SC population and a large NRI presence.
