Hindus constitute 38.5 per cent of the electorate in Punjab and are the biggest chunk of swing voters. There are 45 seats in which they are either in a majority or sizeable enough to influence results. In the past three decades, the 714 per cent Hindu swing vote has been a deciding factor in election outcomes. In 2017, 10.5 per cent of the Hindu vote abandoned the SADBJP combine, leaving them with their worst tally in the postmilitancy era—18 of 117 seats. Likewise, in 2007, 13.5 per cent of the Hindu vote swung away from the Amarinder Singhled Congress, leading to the party’s rout in urban centres and the ouster of its government.
