Jalandhar, May 2, 2023 (Yes Punjab News)
Former minister and senior Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia today said the very fact that a large number of Congress leaders and workers were leaving the party to join the SAD and pledge support to SAD-BSP joint candidate Dr Sukhwinder Singh Sukhi proved that the Choudhary family had failed to deliver anything during its nearly thirty year dominance in this constituency.
Addressing a public meeting in Kartarpur where Congress workers joined the SAD enmass, Mr Bikram Majithia said “people want to support a party and leader who have a proven track record of performance. The Choudhary family of Ch Santokh Singh has failed to do anything during the last nine years.
In direct contrast people are aware of the manner in which former chief minister Parkash Singh Badal helped the farmers and weaker sections by ensuring free power for tube wells besides implementing social welfare schemes like ‘aata-daal’, old age pension, shagun and cycles for girl students besides others”.
Asking the people to compare the candidates in the fray, Mr Majithia said “Dr Sukhi has a proven track record in the Vidhan Sabha where he has taken up peoples’ issues successfully. He is also known as a social worker and renowned doctor who has been serving the people selflessly since decades”. He said in direct contrast both the AAP and BJP candidates were turncoats and could not be trusted.
Coming down heavily on the AAP government and its chief minister Bhagwant Mann, Mr Majithia said forget releasing Prof Devenderpal Singh Bhullar, whose release orders were lying on Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s desk for the last one and a half years, the government had imposed the draconian NSA on innocent Sikh youth.
Asserting that the AAP government had befooled Punjabis in the name of ‘badlav’ and ‘ek mauka’, the former minister said “forget improving education and health services in Punjab, the AAP government had opened 1800 new wine shops in the State”.
Stating that people had seen through the AAP government, Mr Majithia said “Punjabis delivered a humiliating defeat to AAP in the Sangrur parliamentary by election three months after electing it to power in the State. Now the time has come to deliver another blow to this scam tainted, corrupt and anti-people government by defeating its nominee in the bypoll. This is the only way to force this government to fulfill the promises made to the people”, he added.
Those who quit the Congress and joined the SAD on the occasion included Gurdeep Deepa, Butta Singh Former Block Samiti Member Manjit Singh, Mohinder Singh, Amarpreet Singh, Simarjit Singh, Harpinder Kaur, Rohit, Sadhu Singh Fouji & Gurdial Singh Bapu.
