Sukhbir fights a bruising battle, with hands tied by his rebel MP

It’s not going to be a cakewalk for Shiromani Akali Dal president and Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal who won this seat in 2012 elections by over 50,000 votes. Badal too appears to have sensed this, going by the timed release of the sleaze tape against dissident SAD MP Sher Singh Gubhaya, to whom thousands of Rai Sikh voters here owe community allegiance.
