Lok Sabha Elections 2024: The father of popular Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, who lost his life in a fight between two dreaded gangs in Punjab, is all set to enter politics. There is talk that he is going to contest Lok Sabha elections on Congress ticket. Balkaur Singh, who had earlier said many times that he would not enter politics, has now been convinced by Congress to contest the elections.
Which seat do you plan to sit on?
Congress can field him from Bathinda seat. Two months ago, Sidhu Moosewala's father Balkaur Singh had hinted at joining politics. He said why don't we do politics. Giving the example of the murder of former CM Bayant Singh, he said that his grandson became an MP and got the murderer punished. Giving the example of Ravneet Singh Bittu, Balkaur Singh said that if I do the same for the sake of justice, then there is no harm in it.
What did the Punjab Congress President say…
Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Wadding had earlier said that if Balkaur Singh wants to contest the elections, the Congress is ready to give him a ticket. Sidhu Moosewala himself had contested the elections in 2022 on a Congress ticket, although he lost. If Congress fields Balkaur Singh from Bathinda in the Lok Sabha elections, then the contest here will become interesting. Bathinda is the stronghold of Akali Dal and Harsimrat Kaur Badal is the MP from here. This time also Akali Dal will give him ticket. BJP can give ticket to Parampal Kaur, daughter-in-law of Akali leader Sikandar Singh Maluka, on this seat. Parampal Kaur is an IAS officer and has resigned from her post yesterday itself.
