“Once in a halka, Captain will spend one full day interacting with various stakeholders there, a significant portion of which will be spent interacting with locals and hearing their concerns,” it said.

In a direct bid to challenge the incumbent SAD-BJP government in the state, ‘Halke Vich Captain’ will kick off from Jalalabad, the constituency of Deputy Chief Minister and Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal tomorrow.

A process for submission of grievances will also be set up under the campaign. The grievances submitted will be resolved within the first 100 days of Congress forming the government in Punjab, the release added.

“In each HVC event, Captain will directly interact with approximately 5,000 people from every halka. He will reach out to approximately six lakh people directly over the course of the campaign,” said the release.
