BARNALA: Campaigning has started to pick up for the Sangrur Lok Sabha seat byelection, which is set to go to polls on June 23. Candidates of five parties - Aam Aadmi Party, Congress, Shiromani Akali Dal, BJP and SAD (Amritsar) - are in the fray. The parties have deputed leaders to campaign in all nine assembly segments of the parliamentary constituency spread over three districts, Sangrur, Barnala and Malerkotla.
AAP is trying to keep up the winning momentum it achieved in 2014 and 2019, while opposition parties are trying to stop the victory bandwagon of AAP by projecting its three-month performance to be against the expectations of people.
