As the roadshow progressed, slogans of Inqlab Zindabad echoed through the streets.

Starting off first, CM Bhagwant Mann while addressing the gathering said, “In a day or two you will know the exact placement of the AAP election symbol on the ballot. Regardless of the number, we know it will come first.”

Kejriwal started his speech with “Bole So Nihal, Sat Sri Akal”, Waheguru ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.” Referring to PM Narendra Modi’s recent statement, “Hamare ragon mein sindoor daudta hai,” Kejriwal said, “Sanjeev Arora ke ragon mein Ludhiana daudta hai.”

Taking a dig at Congress candidate Bharat Bhushan Ashu, Kejriwal praised Arora’s campaign slogan, “Na gussa, na ahankaar, Sanjeev Arora iss baar”. He added that if people want development, then they should choose Arora; and if they want anger and frustration, then they should choose Ashu.
