Prominent among those who joined Congress are ; Rakesh Kumar Rinku  a senior Akali leader and President of Guru Nanak Market, phase 1 , Rajinder Singh Bhullar, Shamsher Singh, Parminder Singh, Vijay Pal, Nika Ram, Jatin Rajpal, Manjit Singh, Mikku, Charanjit Singh Saini and Jaswinder Singh Kaka,

During the occasion, Suman Garg, Cong candidates from ward no 47, Ravinder Singh from ward no 46 and Meena Kaundal from ward no 45 were also present.

Speaking during the occasion, Balbir Sidhu said that MC elections are directly related to Mohali development. So it's become a responsibility of the public to examine candidates' capabilities to perform according to their expectations. It's the duty of the public to vote and elect those councilors who can work tireless and honestly for general interest and not for their own personal gains. Thus it's the public who have to differentiate rationally between paid candidates and those who can work for you and your betterment, he asserted.

Seeking support for Suman Garg , Ravinder Singh and Meena Kaundal, Sidhu said that these are involved in social service from long and known in their respective area for their dedication towards work. Even Ravinder who is contesting for the first time is doing public service for a long time.

These kind of dedicated candidates if elected as your councilors would have only one agenda to work for the welfare of people and not for their own vested interest.

Targeting rivals, Sidhu said that in elections there is no opposition against Congress.  He said, Congress is the only party which has put up a united face in MC elections. On the other side the oppositions are like 'Khichdi' where some went on one side and some on other sides. 

Lambasting Kulwant Singh for switching loyalties for personal gains, Sidhu said that on seeing that SAD would get no support from the public due to farmers' agitation, he again switched his loyalties.
