Punjab's politicians are employing theatrical campaign tactics ahead of next year's Assembly elections. Former Chief Minister Channi demonstrated allegedly adulterated milk production on video, while ex-Deputy Chief Minister Randhawa fried jalebis publicly. Jalandhar is emerging as a political hub, with Chief Minister Mann and Channi making strategic moves there. Mann's wife faced social media backlash for praising government schools while her daughter attends private institutions. Union Minister Bittu issued cross-party compliments, raising speculation about political messaging.
