Phagwara, November 9, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Pargat Singh and Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa on Monday visited the Shiromani Shri Vishwakarma Temple in Phagwara on the occasion of Vishwakarma Day and offered prayers for the prosperity of Punjab and the welfare of its people.
Local MLA Balwinder Singh Dhaliwal welcomed the two leaders at the temple.
Speaking on the occasion, Pargat Singh said Baba Vishwakarma was revered as a symbol of construction, craftsmanship, technical expertise and creativity. He said artisans, workers, technical experts and small business owners made an invaluable contribution to Punjab’s industrial growth and economy.
Pargat Singh said that if the Congress formed the government in Punjab, it would formulate a separate and comprehensive industrial policy based on the needs of the industry. The party would focus on promoting small and medium industries, creating employment opportunities, addressing the problems of business owners and connecting traditional industries with modern technology.
“The Congress aims to restore Punjab’s position among the leading industrial states of the country,” he said.
Bajwa said strengthening Punjab’s economy required a favourable environment for industrialists, small business owners, artisans and workers. He added that industrial growth would create employment opportunities for young people and strengthen the state’s economy.
Both leaders extended Vishwakarma Day greetings to the people of Punjab, particularly artisans, workers, entrepreneurs and members of the industrial community, and urged them to follow the values of hard work, skill and creativity associated with Baba Vishwakarma.
