Video: Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Channi 'dances' to Bhagwant Mann's song in AAP campaign

AAP’s (Aam Aadmi Party) Twitter handle has been tapping into this generation’s Twitter obsession with flair of late. From Shark Tank memes to Bollywood edits, the party’s social media handles seem to have gotten the creative juices flowing full time.

As Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP is set to lock horns with Congress in the forthcoming Punjab elections on February 20, the former’s Twitter handle has posted a video of Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi “dancing" to AAP’s campaign song “Ik Mauka Kejriwal te Bhagwant Mann nu".

On February 6, Congress announced the name of Charanjit Singh Channi over Navjot Singh Sidhu as the CM face. AAP’s CM face Bhagwant Mann, on the other hand, was picked after a public poll. It’s an edited video, of course, but the creativity was received well by netizens. Posting it on the microblogging platform, AAP wrote, “The dancer in Channi sahab couldn’t stop him from grooving to ‘Ik Mauka Kejriwal te Bhagwant Mann nu’."

Congress’ national coordinator Nitin Agarwal lashed back with a similar video, tweeting, “The poor Dancer in Kejriwal couldn’t stop him from grooving to “Ghar de vich challi gal channi karda masle hal.

The battle for Punjab may just turn out to be a two-horse race with pollsters favouring the AAP over the Congress in many cases, CNN-News18’s ‘poll of polls’ has shown.
