It is claimed that with Bhadaur, a rural seat with a 35 per cent Dalit inhabitants, the Congress is certain of getting a cushty majority with the projection of Channi as a Dalit face. Pirmal Singh, who had gained the Bhadaur seat within the 2017 elections as an Aam Aadmi Party candidate, had not too long ago drifted to the Congress with hope for a ticket from the identical seat.
In the 2017 meeting elections, the Congress celebration had misplaced all three seats within the Barnala district – together with Bhadaur. With the positioning of Channi as a candidate from Bhadaur, Congress hopes to revive its prospects within the district. Political analysts say that the transfer brightens Channi’s likelihood as a preferential Chief Ministerial candidate within the state.
