Bathinda 8 February 2021: The hyperactive campaigning done by the State Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal in favour of congress candidates for the Municipal Corporation Bathinda is completely reversing the situation, which was earlier seen as tough.
Large numbers of INC candidates are moving towards the comfortable position in the elections due to strong campaigning done Manpreet Singh Badal and his family.
The whole family of Finance Minister has jumped in the campaign and it has certainly proved beneficial for the INC candidates. His family members Arjun Badal (son), Veenu Badal (wife) and his brother in law JoJo Johal have fanned out in different wards of the city and reaching the electorate.
Earlier, during the ticket distribution there was some heartburning among the ticket aspirants which is now seemed to be contained. It is said that PPCC President Sunil Jakhar has played a positive role in pacifying the dissident voices.
The Finance Minister has not only calm down the dissidence but also brought in the workers and leaders who had earlier left the congress due to internal differences. One of such leaders is a prominent trade union leader Gian Chand Bansal who was aligned with Swaraj Abhiyan led by Yogindra Yadav. He has a good influence in the urban estates area and enjoys support among retired employees. Around 200 workers from different parties have joined the INC.
The congress candidates who are leading towards comfortable position include Vicky Nambardar, Jagroop Singh Gill, Ashok Pradhan, Master Harmander Sidhu and few others.
