Interesting strategy.

Parties tend to put extra focus on these swing seats where there is a small majority. 

This is just speculation for the following:

In regards to last 3 candidates mentioned, interesting that they are large Tory seats but they have chosen Sikh candidates.

Kenilworth is around the Leamington Spa area. This is like Gerrards X for our people in West Midlands where the wealthier affluent Sikhs live.

I do not know much about Upminster and Hornchurch but I suspect that this is probably the migration direction that East London Sikhs are venturing into or some of the East London Sikhs move to when they make a bit of money.

It looks like that Labour thinks that with growing Sikh populations in these areas that it will make a dent in those Tory majorities. They seem to be hoping on that Sikhs will vote for the Sikh candidates.
