Moga, November 9

Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal has deferred his November 14 visit to Moga to announce party’s next set of poll promises. Earlier, he had unveiled a 10-point agenda for the development of industry, trade and commerce, besides announcing 300 units of free power and lowering tariff for domestic sector.

Bahl inducted, gets Gurdaspur ticket

Former Punjab Subordinate Service Selection Board chairman Raman Bahl was on Tuesday formally inducted into the AAP even as the party officially announced his candidature from Gurdaspur seat.

AAP spokesperson Navdeep Singh Sangha said the proposed visit had been postponed by three to four days. Although the exact date would be announced in a day or two, he was likely arrive on November 18, he said.

Meanwhile, actor Sonu Sood said he had no plans to meet Kejriwal during his proposed Moga visit. Sonu rubbished rumours he was planning to join politics, saying: “As of now, I have no such plans. I am concentrating on social work and films, which is my priority,” he said.

The actor said his advice to political leaders last week should be seen as personal views. He had said leaders should quit if the promises made in the manifesto were not fulfilled.

A few months ago, Sood had met Kejriwal and joined his government as an “ambassador” to mentor youth. The meeting triggered a debate on Sood possibly joining politics. Kejriwal’s visit to Sood’s native town is now being seen in the political circles as an effort to bring the actor into the party fold. — TNS
