Gidderbaha/Muktsar, Aug 21

As both PCC chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring and SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal have recently increased their political activities in the Gidderbaha Assembly segment, which is scheduled to witness a byelection shortly, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is also expected to visit here next week. This will be the CM’s second visit to Gidderbaha within a month.

About the CM’s visit, Sanjeev Kumar, SDM, Malout, who holds the additional charge of Gidderbaha, said, “Teeyan Da Mela is being organised at Bhallaiana village in Gidderbaha and the CM is expected to come there. I held a meeting today at the venue, but the dates of the event to be held next week are not final yet as the reply from the CM’s office is awaited.”

This seat has fallen vacant after three-time MLA Amrinder Singh Raja Warring got elected as MP Ludhiana. Warring was here in Gidderbaha for two days last week and held scores of meetings with his party men.

SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal today visited the constituency for the third day and held 16 meetings in two villages. He is frequently touring the constituency and holding village-wise meetings along with the party’s constituency incharge Hardeep Singh Dimpy Dhillon in an attempt to contact each and every worker.

Interacting with the media, Sukhbir said, “BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has a habit of speaking against other religions and spoiling the atmosphere. She should be booked for hurting religious sentiments of the public through her upcoming movie Emergency, but the government is standing with her.”
