Though Punjab Industry Minister Avtar Henry, Congress candidate from Jalandhar (North) constituency is banking on the developmental work carried out in the past and his winning of the seat for the past three times, his close competitor Kishan Dev Bhandari, the BJP nominee for the seat, is attempting to woo the electorate with his -drug de-addiction and traffic streamlining programme
A total of seven candidates including Avtar Henry (Congress) , Bachan Lal (BSP ), Kishan Dev Bhandari (BJP, Rashpal Komal (Democratic Bhartiya Samaj Party) and Dharminder Kumar, Badri Narayan Jha and Surjit Singh (independents), are contesting for this seat, which has a total electorate of 1,30,354 voters

Jalandhar, Cong may just get one seat at the most. Henry will lose, Henry is known for spending lot of money one or two days before election on liquor. Induralist are behind Bhandari so money is not problem.
Cong MP is very proudly telling people that I have made enough money during this term, I don't care whether I win or lose. <!--emo&

... Addresses impressive rallies at Samrala, Payal and Amloh
As part of his whirlwind campaign, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh while addressing election rallies at Samrala, Payal and Amloh on Thursday threw an open challenge to SAD (B) president Parkash Singh Badal to do whatever he could to stop the Congress from forming the next Government.
Addressing largely attended rallies in favour of Congress candidates Amrik Singh Dhillon from Samrala, Tej Prakash Singh from Payal and Sadhu Singh Dharamsot from Amloh, the Chief Minister predicted that the Congress would create an unprecedented history this time by regaining power for the second consecutive term.
"The Congress has already achieved an unassailable lead over the SAD-BJP combine which is evident from the public endorsement to its Government's people-friendly and pro-development policies and programmes. This has led to a situation in which the opposition alliance finds itself bereft of political agenda. An unprecedented electoral drubbing is staring in the face of Badal led opportunistic political alliance," he predicted amid a thunderous applause.
