assembly segments. Five (Amritsar-East, Amritsar-West, Amritsar-North, Amritsar-Central and Amritsar-South) are in the Amritsar city and surrounding areas, four (Ajnala, Majitha, Raja Sansi and Attari) are outside it.
Of the nine, Raja Sansi, Amritsar-West, Amritsar-Central are with Congress. Amritsar-East's BJP MLA Navjot Kaur Sidhu and South's Inderbir Singh Bolaria of SAD have also switched over to Congress.
Majitha, Ajnala and Attari are represented by SAD and Amritsar-North by BJP.
In his election meetings, Chhina promises to transform Amritsar and bring projects for various sections and also to take steps to further boost the tourism here.
"This city has been declared as a Smart City but work is yet to get started, which I will ensure gets started at priority. We want to make Amritsar a top city and a top tourist destination," he said.
He said the border areas need more work on education and health services and he would seek a special package. Chhina promises development of border areas through Central grants and compensation for farmers with land across the barbed-wire fence on international border.
"Once the SAD-BJP form the government for the third consecutive time in the state and you elect a BJP-SAD MP from here, it will further speed-up the works for public good," Chhina said.
In his campaigns, he also enlists development projects like Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Horticulture Institute and Smart City project.
He claimed the beautification of Golden Temple by the SAD-BJP government has boosted the tourist influx.
Congress' Aujla has been raising the drug issue to hit out at the ruling Akalis, saying the menace is prevalent but the government has "failed" to acknowledge it, "leave alone taking any step to combat it".
Sidhu's step of recently joining the Congress has also bolstered the party's campaign. He has been going all out to attack the ruling Badal family for "looting" Punjab, and BJP for "acting like a mute spectator" to the whole thing.
