PATIALA: In a rebellion against the Congress, party leader Daaman Thind Bajwa who was denied ticket from Sunam assembly segment had now announced to file her nominations as an independent candidate from Sunam in case the party fails to replace the incumbent candidate.
The party has fielded Jaswinder Singh Dhiman, who is a nephew of Amargarh MLA Surjit Singh Dhiman. Daaman Bajwa who contested and lost the Sunam seat to AAP’s Aman Arora in 2017 assembly elections had then got 19.4 percent vote, whereas SAD (B) candidate Gobind Singh Longowal got 27.36 per cent vote share while the AAP’s Aman Arora won and got 46.86 per cent vote.
Daaman was backed by Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi who in December last year had addressed the gathering in Sunam in her support and said that the huge gathering had confirmed that Daaman she would win this time. Despite the denial of ticket this time, Daaman had kept her campaign escalated parallel to the party candidate.
