Before Vidhan Sabha results:- Candidates seek divine intervention

Zirakpur, March 5 The impending election results have made the candidates in the fray superstitious. While some are turning to gods for divine intervention to ensure their victory, the others are banking on their lucky day for emerging as a winner in the poll. The candidates remained busy throughout day answering phone calls of their supporters and the other purported well-wishers. The main candidates in the fray from Dera Bassi Constituency are NK Sharma (SAD-BJP) and Deepinder Singh Dhillon (Independent). On Monday, the SAD candidate NK Sharma started his day with listening to the grievances of the area people and met the party workers where he discussed the strategy for next day. “Tuesday is lucky day for me and I will start the day after paying obeisance at Lohgarh temple.” He said that as such he had no plans to take out a procession after the victory but it will depend only on his supporters. He assured that he will win the seat with huge margin as he had done development works in the area. On the other hand, Deepinder Singh Dhillon, an Independent candidate had started his day with receiving phone calls from his supporters and well wishers who congratulated him in advance. Later, he attended a bhog ceremony and marriage functions of his supporters. In the evening, Dhillon met the party workers and agents where they planned for big day. “I will start my journey from Chandigarh and pay obeisance in Gurdwara at Bhankarpur in Dera Bassi,” he added. He says, “If I win, his priority will be development in the area.”
