He also challenged his opponent from the BJP, Mr.VinodKhanna, on performance index in the LokSabha.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mr.Bajwa, who is seeking re-election from Gurdaspur, said\u00a0\u00a0the anti-incumbency against the state government in general and the Deputy Chief Minister, Mr.Sukhbir Singh Badal, and the Revenue Minister, Mr.\u00a0 Bikram Singh Majithia in particular, was so strong that Mr.Modi would miserably fail to reverse the situation and this alliance would be wiped out from the state. He said\u00a0\u00a0the desperate alliance was counting on Mr.Modi but this state was different from the\u00a0\u00a0rest of the country due to its political dynamics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said this government\u2019s only claim to fame was that this once the most prosperous state had been turned into a state of addicts and the people had openly started demanding from the rulers, including the Chief Minister, Mr.Parkash Singh Badal, that licenced vends should be opened\u00a0\u00a0here on the Rajasthan pattern for selling poppy husk (Bhukki).\u00a0\u00a0He said the smuggling of narcotics was being controlled by the ruling party\u2019s mafia. The Akali Dal candidates had now become so demoralised from the prospect of defeat\u00a0\u00a0that they had also started supporting this demand. He cited the case of Akali Dal candidate from\u00a0\u00a0FaridkotMrs.\u00a0ParamjitKaurGulshan in this regard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mr.Bajwa said jungle law prevailed in the state and it was shocking that the staff of the Orbit transport company owned by Mr.SukhbirBadal publicly forced the passengers of a state\u00a0\u00a0roadways bus yesterday on the GT Road at Jalandhar to get down and board their bus. He said the Deputy Chief Minister had monopolised private transport in the state and now his target was to close down the state transport. He said the de facto situation was that the routs on which the roadways buses used to run had already been taken over by the Badal transport.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The PPCC chief said the Akali Dal-BJP alliance was seeking votes only in Mr.Modi\u2019s name but this factor would not blunt the strong anti-incumbency in the state.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Joining issues with Mr. Khanna, he said the Mumbai Ka Babu should have thought twice before questioning his performance. He said his attendance in the 15<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Lok Sabha was 82 per cent as against 42 per cent of Mr. Khanna in his last tenure, 1.e., 14<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Lok Sabha. Similarly, he said he put 359 questions during the period under comparison as against just 4 in five years by Mr. Khanna. He said this was part of the record of the Lok Sabha.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said so far as the issue of brining big ticket projects from the centre was concerned, Mr.Khanna should better have questioned the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister who scuttled his projects by not allocating land. These projects included railway coach factory at Kalanaur and Beas-Qadian railway line, to talk of only just two projects, he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bajwa toured Taragarh, Kathlaur, NarotJaimal Singh, Gugran, Malarwan, Taloor, Naroli, Ambi, Janial, Bamial,Kichack, BarmaalJattan and DatialalongwithRumal Chand Ex MLA,Raj Kumar Bloc President, Rajvir Singh Gogi, KapilSalaria, LakhbirSingh, Ramesh Ram Ex Sarpanch, Raj Kumar, SanjivBains President Youth Congress District, Kuljit Saini, Surjit Pathania, Raj Kumar, \u00a0Ashok Suri City President, Dr. Pankaj Rai Youth Secretary, Vijay, Kewalsingh, Nisha Sharma, Rajesh Kumar, Angrej Chand, Prem Kumar, Satinder Singh, Shiv Lal Sarpanch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On this occasion mahinder pal village Kili Khurd and Jamal Singh village Sharif Chak joined the congress party from BJP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nails Khanna on performance, tours Bhoa assembly constituency Gurdaspur, April 22 ( Punjab Post Bureau) &#8211;\u00a0\u00a0 The Punjab Congress Committee President\u00a0\u00a0Mr.Partap Singh Bajwa, today said the BJP\u2019s prime ministerial candidate and the Gujarat Chief Minister, Mr.NarendraModi, had no magic wand to uplift the sinking fortunes of the Akali Dal-BJP candidates in Punjab.
