Khadoor Sahib by-poll updates: Political Games Yet to Begin; Bhai Baldeep Singh Invites S. Mann for Open Debate

KHADOOR SAHIB : Even though name of Ramanjit Singh Sikki has been announced as the Congress candidate for Khadoor Sahib by-poll, political parties are yet to gear their campaigns.Even after 12 days since issuing of election commission’s notification for Khadoor Sahib bypoll, no poster and banners are seen displayed, nor are flags being distributed among people. Noise of mobile loud speakers is also not here to be heard. The sky is not being echoed by the slogans in favour of candidates.
In addition, even after four days of nominations, no candidate has filed papers so far. Ruling SAD (Badal) candidate Ravinder Brahmpura and independent candidate Sumel Singh Sidhu (former state convener of Aam Aadmi Party ) are filling nomination papers on January 25. Whereas, another AAP dissident and gurbani exponent Bhai Baldeep Singh will do so on January 27. Name of Ramanjit Singh Sikki was announced on Saturday and he would probably file the nomination on January 27 as well.
