The historic Grand Trunk Road or the National Highway 1 serves the city which ensures a very extensive and huge road network. Amritsar was also the site of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, a historic tragedy which took place on 13th April, 1919, where over hundreds of Indians were killed under the orders of Reginald Dyer of the British military.

Present Political Scenario:

BJP’s master Strategist is now in  electoral fight

At the outset, fielding Arun Jaitley looks like a very good decision of the BJP, for it ensures that BJP wins this seat again.

 Navjot Singh Sidhu, the ever sulking Sardar, has been reasonably placated by his political guru, Jaitley, so there won’t be much opposition from his side, while the Akalis too are happy to accommodate a high profile name like Arun Jaitley from an important seat like Amritsar.

The city voters of the four assembly segments of Amritsar (North, West, Central and East) who were fed up with cricketer turned politician, Sidhu, are now again looking at BJP with hope, while the rural voters of Raja Sansi, Majitha and Ajnala are under the control of Shiromani Akali Dal.

 Had BJP again nominated Sidhu, then the Akalis would have ensured that the rural voters of those three assembly segments would have turned against BJP. Now,   the master Strategist may open his account in his first ever direct election.
