Earlier today he had said that Congress and BJP have joined together to levelling allegations against AAP but the people of the state know everything.

"It is a big day for Punjab today. Congress and BJP have come together to put allegations on my party and me, but the people of Punjab know everything," said AAP leader.

Voting for 117 constituencies for Punjab Assembly elections began at 8 am on Sunday amid tight security. In Punjab, over 2.14 crore voters will decide the fate of 1304 candidates who are in the fray from 117 constituencies.

In the 2017 Punjab Assembly polls, Congress won 77 seats in the 117-member House, whereas Shiromani Akali Dal could win only 18 seats

Meanwhile, AAP, which is emerging to be a strong contender in Punjab, reported some discrepancies during the voting in Punjab.

Party’s Punjab affairs co-in-charge Raghav Chadha took to Twitter to report glitches in EVMs and disruptions at polling centres and urged the election commission to take necessary actions.
