Buoyed by the civic poll results and with the state Assembly elections less than a year away, the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) is launching campaign ‘Capt for 2022’ from tomorrow.
Riding on the sentiment against the central farm laws, the Congress has made inroads into urban pockets that were the stronghold of the SAD and BJP. The party has fared well in Bathinda, Hoshiarpur, Pathankot, Ropar and Batala by winning 1,078 of 1,815 wards (municipal councils) and 271 of the 351 Municipal Corporation seats. Compared to Majha, the party’s performance in Malwa and Doaba has been better.
With the Congress completing four years in March, the Congress government has planned a concerted campaign around Capt Amarinder Singh.
“The message is clear that people have voted for the Chief Minister. The result will serve as a launch pad for Capt Amarinder Singh as the CM face in 2022”, said PPCC president Sunil Jakhar, adding that the PPCC is launching campaign ‘Capt for 2022’ from tomorrow.
