Kejriwal, who was in Punjab till on Sunday, covered various assembly constituencies in Patiala, Jalandhar, Pathankot and Tarn Taran and sought votes for the party while “promising moon” to restrain SAD-BJP and Congress from coming to power in the state.

During campaigning, Kejriwal accused Badals and Congress of being hand-in glove and protecting each other. AAP has also made Jhabbar, a prominent Dalit activist who joined the party in December, a star campaigner. Jhabbar, a former CPI(ML) leader who had lost his arms and a leg in a deadly assault, had launched a struggle against caste bias and oppression in 2006, making him an icon of Dalit upsurge.
