Congress has fielded Sidhu Moosewala from Manasa. He is already an established name as a Punjabi singer with his chart-bursting numbers, and now hopes to make his presence felt in the constituency.
Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and singer Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu aka Sidhu Moosewala were today booked for violating the model code of conduct two days before the state assembly polls.
Mr Channi had visited a temple with Mr Moosewala in Manasa. The two Congress leaders then carried out a door-to-door campaign in the area yesterday evening, after the campaigning had come to an end.
Voting for the 117-member Punjab legislative assembly is set to be held on Sunday. Counting of votes will take place on March 10.
The Election Commission had earlier postponed the date of voting for the Assembly polls from February 14 to February 20 in the wake of Guru Ravidas Jayanti.
