Indian National Lok Dal’s Abhay Singh Chautala held a meeting with party workers. He is contesting from Ellenabad assembly seat in Sirsa.Parties may run bitter campaigns against each other during polls, but the mention of the sweet ‘jalebis’ in the speeches of their leaders helps bring down the political temperature. This was in evidence on Friday.Gohana’s jumbo-sized ‘jalebis’ and polls have a connection, a sweet one.
