AAP is hoping to create a Delhi-like wave in Malwa

LUDHIANA: The luminous green hues of rural Malwa are



punctuated by bursts of vibrant yellow mustard fields. Through the green and yellow comes a throng of jhadoo wielders, some wearing white caps, on motorcycles and jeeps yelling, "Na Chitta nu, na daru nu, vote pao jhadoo nu". (No to drugs, no to alcohol, vote for jhadoo). AAP posters are splashed across Malwa and loudspeaker vans blaring AAP election songs trundle past. Armed with a tough line on drugs and alcohol, Kejriwal's party is hoping to do a New Delhi redux in the Malwa region of Punjab. With its 69 seats, AAP is banking on Malwa to win its first state outside Delhi.
