Sukhbir Badal to campaign for Brahmpura on Feb 3, 4
Punjab deputy chief minister and president of Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) Sukhbir Badal will address scores of public meetings on February 3 and 4 across the Khadoor Sahib assembly segment to garner support of the voters for Ravinder Brahmpura.
Junior Badal has assigned duties to party’s senior leaders including cabinet ministers, chief parliamentary secretaries (CPS), members of parliament (MP) and MLAs for campaign. As Congress decided not to contest the bypoll, these top leaders are being seen rarely in the constituency for campaign. Ravinder prefers to approach the voters of those areas which are strongholds of Congress leader Sikki with an eye to ensure record victory margin. However, he does not mention the issue of ‘beadbi’ of Guru Granth Sahib on which Sikki resigned from his post and the seat fell vacant.
