The Shiromani Akali Dal, which ruled Punjab for 10 years in alliance with the BJP, trailed at the number three slot in the results as officials counted the votes polled in the 117 seats on Saturday.

The Congress had won on 18 seats and was leading on 61 others by Saturday afternoon.

"I am grateful to the people of Punjab for giving me an opportunity to serve them. I am fully satisfied with all the things I was able to do. I will seek forgiveness from people for any mistakes," Badal said.

He said the reasons behind the Akali Dal's defeat would be assessed.
