It’s Sukhbir Singh Badal’s confidence and Sher Singh Ghubaya’s nervousness that is evident in this border constituency of Ferozepur. A theatre group hails the SAD before Sukhbir holds a meeting while a dhadhi jatha enthrals the dwindling audience at Ghubaya’s rally. 
Sukhbir Badal, the sitting Jalalabad MLA, enjoys a huge following in the constituency, mainly because of development ushered in during the SAD-BJP rule. 
Ghubaya, who rebelled against the SAD and joined the Congress days before the elections were announced, is fighting almost alone with little help from senior Congress leaders, such as Hans Raj Josan and Mohinder Rinwa. The support of party MLAs has been surficial. A united SAD cadre, on the other hand,  has launched a powerful campaign for the SAD president.
