Chandigarh, January 15
The Punjab Congress will be banking heavily on the star appeal of former Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh with the party refusing to enlist the services of Bollywood biggies as star campaigners for the elections.
The party will, however, have actors Nagma and Raj Babbar campaigning for it. Nagma, top heroine of Bhojpuri movies, has been roped in to campaign for the party in Ludhiana.
The industrial town has a large number of voters from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. The BJP has had ‘dream girl’ Hema Malini campaigning for the party in Ludhiana.
The Congress, which submitted its list of 40 star campaigners today, a day prior to the deadline, has listed all its serving MPs as star campaigners. Among the heavyweights are party president Sonia Gandhi, Pranab Mukherjee, Rahul Gandhi, Capt Amarinder Singh, general secretary incharge Gulchain Singh Charak and Congress Legislature Party Leader Rajinder Kaur Bhattal.
The Congress has roped in young leaders such as Jyotiraditya Scindia, Jatin Prasad and Sachin Pilot.The latter is expected to campaign in Gujjar-dominated constituencies. Other youth leaders Ashok Tanwar and Mukul Wasnik will target the Dalit vote.
Ghulam Nabi Azad and Salman Khurshid will try to work on the Muslim vote and Oscar Fernandes will campaign in Christian areas. Mohsina Kidwai will be incharge of Mahila Congress campaigning.
Chief Ministers from neighbouring states would also pitch in with Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah and Haryana CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda also listed as star campaigners.
