DHURI (SANGRUR): The rhetoric got shriller in the high-stake battle of Dhuri where AAP CM-pick Bhagwant Mann faces Dalvir Singh Goldy of the Congress. After calling Mann an outsider, Goldy is turning it into a sitting MP versus sitting MLA contest while AAP is hoping to ride on winds of change by pitching in with its slogans ‘Ik mauka’ (one chance) for Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann and ‘Punjab taiyaar badlav ke liye’ (Punjab ready for change).
The narrow by lanes of the nondescript town, which has a wide drain passing through the main market, was humming with unusual activity these days. The AAP campaign in the Malwa region is the most visible with posters and life-sized cutouts of its candidates on every stretch of road, followed by the Congress.
