SAD-BJP organizes Mega Rally at Rajasansi

Modi Government in Centre will Usher New Era of Development in Border Areas- Badal

Rajasansi, April 5 ( Punjab Post Bureau)-  Chief Minister Punjab Parkash Singh Badal today stated that there is clear wave in favour of NDA in the country and Narendra Modi will form next government in Centre which will usher a new era of development for Punjab and especially. Badal who was addressing a mega rally in favour of SAD-BJP candidate and senior national leader ArunJaitley here today said at Jaitley will be the voice of the people of Punjab and border district of Amritsar in the parliament as he demanded votes for him. He also gave the rival Congress a big blow as senior Congress leader in the area and former Transport Minister Parminder Singh Sandhu joined the Shiromani Akali Dal (B). Badal welcomed Sandhu and another leader Mohan Singh Matia in the Akali Dal and honoured them with Siropaos.Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parikar also came to attend the rally in favour of Jaitley. Badal recalled the sacrifices made by the Punjabis during the Partition of India in 1947 and during the freedom struggle. But he said the governments in Centre have always discriminated against Punjab. He said during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots the innocents were butchered and the houses of the community members were earmarked to target them and even after the 29 years of the massacre the victims have not got the justice. He even the most sacred place Harmandar Sahib was not spared and tanks were used to blow away the Akal Takht. He said be it the Water sharing issue, Chandigarh or distribution of electricity, Punjab had to bear the brunt of discrimination. He blamed the Congress for all this and how the party’s government in Centre mitigated the industrial growth by giving relaxations to the industry in neighbouring states. He said When the farmers loan was to be written off, Punjab;s farmers were not given the relief at all. Badal targeted the Congress-led UPA in Centre for corruption, scandals and kickbacks pushing the nation’s economy backward. He said Congress is afraid to declare its Prime Ministerial due to the imminent defeat it is foreseeing in the elections. He made a scathing attack on former Chief Minister and Congress candidate Captain Amarinder Singh saying he was reluctant to contest but was forced by Rahul Gandhi to contest and now was making misleading statements. He said Captain feels that if he will speak something false 10 times, people will take it as if truth but this will not happen as he can not befool the people any further. He said Captain never talks about the corruption in UPA, Unemployment in country or Price Rise but will be issuing just threats to one and all. He said captain is no match for Jaitley who is sagacious and intellectual person.

                 Jaitley who addressed the huge rally said the NDA will surpass 272 seats figure in the Parliament. He said one after the other Congress leaders were shying away from contesting elections including Captain Amarinder but they were forced to do so by their party President. He said people were fed up by the 10 years of UPA Rule in Centre and they have made up their mind to route the Congress in the coming elections. He said UPA failed on all fronts including economy, foreign policy, internal security and how they will make a developed India a power nation in the comity of nations.

                                   Punjab Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia targeted Captain saying by seeing the gathering in the rally, he will further be baffled. He said already he not aware what he is speaking and the way the support is emerging in favour of Jaitley, he will be further perplexed. He said there is every possibility that after his defeat Captain will run away towards Pakistan after crossing the border. He said the people in Border areas had been suffering since 1947 and now with NDA all set to form government in Centre their plight will be listened. He said when Captain was Chief Minister he never cared to reach out to the people of the border areas and will go back to Chandigarh after eating at swanky hotels and restaurants in Amritsar. “Where were you when the border area people were being hit by the bombs from across the border in Pakistan’’,  he asked captain. Other present during the rally including Chairman Vir Singh Lopoke, Minister Gulzar Singh Ranike, BJP State President Kamal Sharma, BJP Senior Vice President Rajinder Mohan Singh Chhina, Upkar Singh Sandhu, Rana Lopoke and others.
