The political temperature remained high on the second day of former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi’s ‘Jawani Sambhal’ cycle rally, as Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers staged a protest when the rally reached Chandigarh Road in Ludhiana on Friday.
AAP workers waved black flags and raised slogans against Channi to register their protest. The demonstration came a day after the Congress leader faced similar opposition when the cycle rally was flagged off from Chamkaur Sahib on Thursday.
Anticipating possible tension, the administration had made elaborate security arrangements along the rally route. Police personnel cordoned off the protesting AAP workers and restricted them to the footpath to prevent any confrontation or disruption.
Despite the protest, the cycle rally continued along its scheduled route without any interruption. The repeated demonstrations have added a political edge to Channi’s statewide campaign, with the face-off between Congress and AAP workers drawing attention during the rally.
