Cricketer-turned-politician and Rajya Sabha MP Harbhajan Singh campaigned in Ludhiana on Sunday to garner support for Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate in the Ludhiana (West) Assembly by-election. He led two vibrant roadshows and addressed a public rally, attracting enthusiastic crowds at every stop.
During his address, Harbhajan Singh praised Arora’s dedication and commitment to Ludhiana’s progress. He said Arora had been working relentlessly to bring development to the city. “I’ve seen Sanjeev Arora personally approaching union ministers to either initiate new projects or expedite existing ones. His passion for Ludhiana’s growth is unmatched,” he remarked.
Singh went on to say that in his political career, he hasn’t come across a leader who remain so deeply involved in the development of their constituency. “His concern for Ludhiana is genuine, and his efforts will bear fruit once he wins the by-election. The public will witness a new pace of development in the city,” he said.
Sharing his experience from the campaign trail, Singh noted, “I’ve travelled through different areas of the constituency today, and the enthusiasm among people clearly indicates that the public sentiment is leaning strongly in favour of Sanjeev Arora.” He added that he looked forward to visiting again soon to celebrate Arora’s victory.
Calling for full support, Harbhajan Singh urged voters to stand with Arora, describing a vote for him as a step toward Ludhiana’s brighter future. “His victory will only fast-track the progress that has already begun,” he added.
Sanjeev Arora expressed gratitude for Harbhajan Singh’s support, calling it an encouraging moment in his campaign. “I feel honoured that Harbhajan Singh has joined me. His support boosts our morale and shows that we are on the right path,” said Arora, urging voters to poll in large numbers and also encourage their friends and families to do the same.
Throughout the campaign, Harbhajan Singh’s fans gathered in large numbers, many requesting autographs, some even on cricket bats, creating a lively and enthusiastic atmosphere.
