Khanna, Feb 8 (UNI) As the Congress has not projected Capt Amarinder Singh as the next Chief Minister in the assembly polls, the voters in this constituency are being asked to ''vote for next CM of Punjab''.

This slogan is quite common in this reserved assembly constituency of 1.50 lakh voters. The reason for this slogan is quite obvious as the VIP contestant from this seat is Punjab Pardesh Congress Committee (PPCC) president Shamsher Singh Dullo.

Dullo who has won twice and lost thrice from the constituency, is 'involved in a 10-cornered contest, with' his main opponent being Mr Bikramjit Singh Khalsa of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD).

Bikramjit may be contesting his first election, but he cannot be described as a pushover as being the son of former Lok Sabha member, the late Basant Singh Khalsa, he has politics running in his veins.

Harbans Kaur Dullo, wife of the PPCC chief who is the sitting MLA is managing her husbands campaign. '' Dullo sahib is busy campaigning for the party throughout the state, so I am asking for votes on his behalf'', she tells the electorate at poll rallies.

Admitting her husband is being projected as the next Chief Minister of the state, Mrs Dullo says '' everyone has a dream and if he becomes CM it will be for the betterment of the constituency''.

She keeps reminding the voters that in the last elections she asked for votes for herself, but now she was seeking votes for her husband.

When a group of reporters asked her she had sought the ticket for herself and had even expressed her anger when the Congress High Command chose the PPCC chief, she is quick to reply, ''What difference does it make--whether it is me or my husband''.
