The Ludhiana election is seeing an intense hoarding war between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress, who are dominating the city's advertising space with bold slogans and visuals, while the BJP and SAD are lagging behind. AAP's Sanjeev Arora and Congress' Bharat Bhushan Ashu are engaging in veiled attacks and vying for voter trust with slogans that highlight their strengths and target opponents' weaknesses. The AAP emphasizes work and respect, while Congress focuses on development and its established track record. The BJP and SAD are taking a different approach, opting for less expensive options like illegal wall posters and social media. SAD's Parupkar Singh Ghuman is promoting prosperity and accessibility, positioning himself as the local, humble choice.

The project was first launched in 2002-03 during the Capt-led govt’s tenure

The Dalit village of Nangal in Phillaur is experiencing unrest due to repeated vandalism of its Ambedkar statue. After two attacks, residents, who deeply revere Ambedkar and his ideology, feel deliberately targeted. They are questioning why their village is being singled out despite the presence of numerous Ambedkar statues in the region. Nangal's historical connection to Ambedkar, combined with its largely Dalit and politically aware population, intensifies the community's outrage. Despite installing security measures after the first attack, the second defacement, targeting the new statue before protective measures were in place, has fueled fears of a deliberate attempt to sow discord between Dalits and Sikhs. The villagers, united and alert, are protesting and demanding the arrest of those responsible, emphasizing the significance of the statue as a symbol of their identity, equality, and resistance.
