Jalandhar, October 23

The Congress has included eight leaders from Punjab in its list of star campaigners for the upcoming Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections.

Of the star campaigners, Congress national spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill is one. Professionally a lawyer, Shergill hails from Jalandhar and is a popular face in TV debates, defending his party on various issues.

By choosing a youth as a star campaigner in the neighbouring state, the party has perhaps tried to strike a balance with some more experienced politicians from Punjab, including Sunil Jakhar, Partap Singh Bajwa and Manish Tewari, who are also on the list.

Punjab leaders are being given importance on the list for Himachal as the Congress has tasted back to back success in the state — Assembly elections and Gurdaspur Lok Sabha bypoll.
