Bathinda, Sep 29 (PTI): Balkaur Singh, the father of the late singer Sidhu Moosewala, has announced his intention to run in the next Punjab assembly elections from the Mansa constituency. This is the same seat where his son, Sidhu Moosewala, unsuccessfully contested on a Congress ticket during the 2022 elections.
Speaking at a Congress assembly in Mansa on Sunday, Balkaur Singh shared that the local community has been a source of strength for him following his son's tragic death. He expressed his desire to gain their support in his bid for election, stating, "We will fight the elections. I need your support. You are my strength."
Singh emphasized his determination to honor his son's aspirations by bringing a photograph of Sidhu Moosewala to the Vidhan Sabha, should he win the seat. "It was my son's unfulfilled wish to reach the Vidhan Sabha... We will fight the election and win. Then I will take a photograph of my son to the Assembly to fulfill his wish," Singh said.
Popularly known as Sidhu Moosewala, Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu was murdered in Mansa, Punjab, on May 29, 2022. In the 2022 assembly elections, he contested the Mansa seat on a Congress ticket but was defeated by a candidate from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
