Democratic Festival Came To An End?
The last phase was completed on 1st June. Punjab and Chandigarh polled on the day. BJP contested on all the 13 seats, but strangely, out of this13 candidates, 11 candidates were from other parties source says. SAD were not seen much in the fray, only their posters were seen on the anniversary of Operation Blue Star pasted outside the Gurudwaras and other prominent places source says. Manish Tewari contested from Chandigarh but his campaign was not as good as a winning candidate, however, in the latter part of campaigning around 20th May it picked up and the developmental model published by Tewari on social media got a lot of response sources say. Interestingly when Priyanka Gandhi came to Chandigarh, she asked Manish Tewari about Pawan Bansal, who was not at the airport to receive her a source says. Tewari replied that though he is talking to him daily over the phone with a request to share the platform during campaigning but so far, he has not turned up source says. Priyanka Gandhi immediately called him and requested to share the platform with her during the meeting source says. Pawan Bansal obliged her and since then continuously campaigned for Tewari and also participated in meetings in Himachal Pradesh source say
