Mohali, January 15
Reposing faith in former Cabinet minister and sitting Congress MLA Balbir Singh Sidhu for the works carried out in the Mohali constituency, the Congress high command has again nominated him from the seat. In fact, the party has played its cards on Sidhu’s winning prospects from the seat. He has won the Assembly elections thrice, once from erstwhile Kharar segment and twice from Mohali, and has already been campaigning.
The AAP has fielded former Mayor Kulwant Singh, a realtor. In 2012, Sidhu had defeated SAD’s Balwant Singh Ramoowalia, while in 2017, he trumped AAP candidate Narinder Singh. Sidhu said: “I have never compromised on the development of Mohali. It is people’s trust in me that I have been repeatedly given the chance to serve them.” —
