Former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today formally started canvassing in favour of his daughter-in-law Harsimrat Kaur Badal from the Lambi Assembly segment in the Bathinda constituency.
His first public meeting was held at Burj Sidhwan village. Badal was earlier almost daily touring one or two villages to express grief with families in Lambi who have lost someone in the recent past. Even today he visited two villages for the same purpose, but held a public meeting that was organised by party’s former district chief Dyal Singh Kolianwali.
In his first public address this election, Badal criticised the Congress terming it an “anti-Punjab” party.
