Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann conducts roadshow in support of AAP candidate Harmeet Singh Sandhu for assembly bypoll in Tarn Taran

Tarn Taran (Punjab) [India], October 26 (ANI): Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday conducted a roadshow in support of AAP candidate Harmeet Singh Sandhu for the upcoming assembly bypoll for the Tarn Taran constituency. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia was also present during the roadshow.
CM Bhagwant Mann said, "We are getting a very good response. People will talk about us. The opposition party is just moving around; they can't do anything else. After 14th November, the opposition will not make a comeback. Aam Aadmi Party candidate will win again."
Meanwhile, Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring on Sunday appealed to the people of Tarn Taran to vote for the Congress for peace, progress and prosperity in the state.
Addressing an impressive public meeting in support of Karanbir Singh Burj, the party candidate for the Tarn Taran by-election here today, Warring cautioned people against any emotional exploitation.
He pointed out that now the people of Punjab have seen the rule and working of all the three governments; that of the Congress, the Akali-BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party. "You are in the best position to make the right choice", he told people, adding, "it is the Congress which takes along all sections of people and works for peace, progress and prosperity for everyone".
The PCC president asserted that the days of the AAP government in Punjab were numbered as it was now on its last leg. Besides, he added, the party was in such a pitiable condition that it had to outsource its candidate from the Akali Dal, which has already been rejected by the people of Punjab.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) on October 6 announced that by-elections for eight assembly constituencies across seven states and Union Territories will take place on November 11.
The counting of votes for the by-election is scheduled for November 14. These by-elections are being held to fill vacancies caused by various reasons such as resignations, deaths, or disqualifications.
The by-elections will take place in Jammu and Kashmir's Budgam and Nagrota districts, Rajasthan's Anta district, Jharkhand's Ghatshila district, Telangana's Jubilee Hills district, Punjab's Tarn Taran district, Mizoram's Dampa district, and Odisha's Nuapada district. (ANI)
