Alliance works for Manish Tewari, but Congress divided
Chandigarh's Sector 25, a stage has been set up. It is a show of unity — Congress, Aam Aadmi Party and Samajwadi Party leaders are sitting side by side and patiently waiting for their candidate, Congress spokesperson and former minister Manish Tewari.
As soon as he enters the ground, two youths approach him and carry him on their shoulders with party workers thronging to garland him. By the time he reaches the stage, the garlands are almost covering half his face. He gets on the stage and local leaders begin their speeches. Tewari keeps it short as he is on a clock. He has just wrapped up a rally with Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and has to catch up on the day's campaign schedule.
«Dakshin Bharat mein BJP saaf hai, uttar Bharat mein BJP half hai. They are not crossing 150. INDIA bloc is forming the next government,» he says adding, «When I say we will give free 200 units of power to any family with an income below ₹20,000 per month, BJP says I have lost my mental balance. But I am not taking out money from their pockets. It is government's money that we will use.» Tewari is running a high-pitched campaign with the help of the Congress and AAP cadres.
