Chandigarh: Soon after joining Congress, party hinted singer-actor Sidhu Moosewala to contest from Mansa.
In his maiden public rally Moosewala was seen on the stage with Chief minister Charanjeet Singh Channi and transport minister Raja Warring.
This has created a flutter among the other ticket aspirants from the seat, including Chahal.
He faced protests from his own party workers as he got ready to address the crowd at Grain Market in Mansa.
The party workers, reportedly supporters of Mansa Youth Congress president Jaspinder Vir Chahal, started raising slogans against Moosewala.
“Mansa became a district in 1992 but this mutual rivalry led to a stage where the district continues to be underdeveloped. It is high time that we all get united. Congress has several senior leaders in the district and I will take whatever role the party assigns me, ” Sidhu said addressing his first rally on Friday after joining Congress.
