DELHI: An abysmally low 42.2% turnout on Sunday in the 51-member
cash-rich Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) elections,
which had assumed heightened importance after the entire Punjab cabinet
shifted base to Delhi during the last three weeks, dimmed the hopes of a
clear majority for both the parties - the incumbent Congress-backed Shiromani Akali Dal (Delhi) and Punjab's Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal).
Only 1.75 lakh Sikhs, out of the 4.16 registered voters, came out to cast their votes, the directorate of gurudwara elections (DGE) said.
The elections brought an end to the high-strung month-long poll campaign to DSGMC, which enjoys control over 10 historical gurudwaras, 30 schools, 15 colleges, six hospitals and 15 dispensaries.
The election is being seen as a primer to the assembly polls in the national capital after the ruling committee president and main candidate Paramjit Sarna was given open backing by the Congress against Punjab CM Parkash Badal-led SAD and BJP combine.
