Punjabi Singers Perform at AAP Rallies Ahead of Punjab Elections

Punjabi singers like Ranjit Bawa, Kanwar Grewal, and Kulwinder Billa are increasingly featured at Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) rallies and state functions in Punjab ahead of elections. These artists, some personal friends of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, perform for large audiences before he addresses the gatherings. Reports indicate that singers are paid substantial fees, such as Rs 20 lakh for a recent show in Attari, to entertain crowds and build momentum for AAP events.
