Modi minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal scrapes through winning Bathinda

 -  -  70


The wife of Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal and food processing minister in Narendra Modi’s cabinet -Harsimrat Kaur Badal barely scraped through with a few thousand vote victory over Indian National Congress party’s Raja Warring.

Though considered the underdog, Raja Warring put up a brave fight, with he and his wife and family touring the length and breadth of the constituency.

Perhaps his utterances against Sikhs and his illogical reference to 1984 killings did him in the final stages of the contest.
