Muktsar, November 3

As the state elections are round the corner and farmers are still opposing the political leaders’ visits, the SAD has adopted a fresh strategy to mobilise its workers.

While SAD chief and Ferozepur MP Sukhbir Singh Badal and his wife and Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal are nowadays mostly touring urban areas and holding public meetings, former CM Parkash Singh Badal is holding fort at his native Badal village here.

Under this strategy, Sukhbir is visiting some Hindu religious places as well. For instance, he recently paid obeisance at the Chintpurni temple in Himachal Pradesh and is scheduled to visit Salasar Dham in Rajasthan in the next few days.

Besides, the SAD has roped in former BJP leader Anil Joshi and NK Sharma to woo the urban voters by touring different Assembly segments.

In the past few days, Sukhbir has visited Amritsar, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Abohar and Fazilka towns. Similarly, Harsimrat has visited Muktsar, Faridkot, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Amritsar, Moga, Baghapurana and Nihal Singhwala towns.
