Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, February 18, 2022: The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has gained tremendous momentum after the release of the party’s election manifesto with there being a huge spike in the social media posts of SAD President Sukhbir Singh Badal.
Party President Sukhbir Singh Badal thanked Punjabis for the unprecedented interest in the SAD manifesto.
He said the manifesto release post had generated ten lakh views so far whereas the last roadshow generated more than 87000 simultaneous live viewers.
“SAD has always peaked at the right moment and the present trend also indicates the SAD-BSP alliance is moving towards a complete majority. The unparalleled interest in the party’s manifesto and the subsequent addresses is a clear indication of which way the voters’ mood has swung. SAD will make a clean sweep”.
Sukhbir Badal said the unprecedented response being received by the SAD both on social media and the ground spoke volumes about the credibility of the party.
He said it also showed the yearning of change among Punjabis to throw the corrupt and non –performing Congress government out and usher in a time-tested party that is known to fulfill all its poll commitments.
Describing the party manifesto as a gamer changer, Badal said “never before have such a plethora of demands of all sections of society been accepted by a political party in the State. The fact that the SAD has announced that it has calculated the financial outlay for each and every promise and also made a revenue model to fulfill the promises has resulted in the huge interest in the party’s election manifesto”.
Meanwhile, a party spokesman said the momentum that the SAD achieved with the release of its manifesto had resulted in a sharp spike in the viewership of all speeches being made by the SAD President besides mammoth participation in all his rallies despite Covid restrictions.
He said this was in sharp contrast to the empty chairs greeting both AAP Convener Arvind Kejriwal and Congress de facto leader Rahul Gandhi.
“Even AAP chief ministerial candidate Bhagwant Mann was reduced to addressing a crowd of two hundred persons each in all his roadshows. No political party has been able to generate a groundswell of support as done by the SAD”, the spokesman added.
Giving details, the party spokesman said the views of Sukhbir Badal have been increasing steadily since the last fortnight.
He said from an initial simultaneous live page viewership of 12,000 to 30, 0000 and then to one lakh few days.
“Now on the last day of campaigning in Muktsar, the SAD President has crossed the one lakh simultaneous viewership figure”.
