Mansa, December 26
The Mansa seat could see a fierce contest between Congress leader Sidhu Moosewala and Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) leader Ruldu Singh Mansa in the 2022 Assembly elections.
Eyeing ticket from Mansa and unfazed by opposition from local Congress leaders, Mooosewala is holding public meetings. He has disbursed Rs 2.16 crore in Mansa and Bhikhi blocks.
Ruldu, who is also the president of BKU (Mansa), could be the likely candidate of the SKM from Mansa. In 2012 Assembly elections, his son Gurjant Singh contested on the ticket of CPI-ML unsuccessfully from Mansa.
During the agitation against the central farm laws, Ruldu emerged as a firebrand leader who carried a stick with him in his hand. The Tribune, Ruldu said: “I am not demanding any ticket, if the Morcha gives me an opportunity to contest from here, CPI-ML would surely support me.” — TNS
