Chandigarh : AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal, a mastermind in managing the propaganda to take advantage of it, has made a smart move by pitching Sangrur MP Bhagwant Mann against Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal from Jalalabad.
With this, Kejriwal has generated excitement in the political field and the entire focus has turned to Jalalabad. His strategy is to make the upcoming election a battle between AAP and the SAD, especially Sukhbir Badal, who is also known as a master tactician.
To counter Kejriwal’s move, the Congress and the SAD will have to work overtime to turn the tables on him. The SAD has not announced Sukhbir’s candidature from Jalalabad from where he was elected last time with a huge margin. It is for sure that by announcing that Bhagwant would contest against Sukhbir from Jalalabad, AAP has created a situation where the latter has to stick to Jalalabad. If Sukhbir decides to contest from any other constituency, it will send wrong signals among SAD cadres and voters.
Bhagwant has already announced that if Sukhbir decided to contest from some other constituency, he would also move to that seat. With the contest between Sukhbir and Bhagwant becoming clear, one can imagine how much coverage this battle would get in the media. AAP’s aim to occupy much media space without spending heavily.
