Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Saturday exuded confidence that the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD)-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alliance would once again form government in Punjab as she hit out at Congress and AAP for making "false promises" to lure voters.

Punjab is witnessing a three-cornered contest between ruling SAD-BJP alliance, opposition Congress and new entrant Aam Aadmi Party as the state votes in the assembly election on Saturday.

"With the grace of God, our (SAD-BJP) government will again form the government in the state as our government always worked for the state's progress and development," Harsimrat, wife of Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal, told reporters after casting her vote in Lambi.

Hitting out at Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor, she added, "After 30 years there was a blast in Punjab. Kejriwal having dinner and breakfast with Babbar Khalsa, it is a clear indication that ISI sponsors Kejriwal ."

"Punjab wants government that coordinates with the Centre, not one that has issues with Centre every day and certainly not one that ruined Delhi," she added.

Earlier, SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal had slammed Kejriwal for allegedly staying in the house of Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) commander Gurinder Singh in Moga.

Terming AAP leaders as "opportunistic outsiders", he alleged that they were only interested in grabbing power, even if it is by riding on the shoulder of extremist forces.

Congress candidate Ravneet Singh Bittu had also said that Kejriwal had joined hands with fundamentalists to fight the state polls.

Today's voting will seal the fate of 1,145 candidates. Polling for the 117 Punjab assembly seats is taking place amid tight security. The early voters included General JJ Singh (Red) of SAD, Pargat Singh of Congress, Sucha Singh Chhotepur of Apna Punjab Party (APP), and Bhagwant Mann, Gurpreet Singh Ghuggi and Sukhpal Singh Kahiara of AAP.

General (Retd) JJ Singh said SAD-BJP will perform a hattrick and form the government.
