Sukhbir Singh Badal, President Shiromani Akali Dal today said that Congress party could not stop the leader of masses Chief Minister Mr. Parkash Singh Badal from holding pro-people ‘Sangat Darshan’ Programmes. He said that the Punjab Congress would soon realise the folly of its directionless leaders who have nothing to offer but negativity.Replying to media queries after attending a rally organized by Mr. Ajit Singh Shant to mark his comeback in the Shiromani Akali Dal folds, Mr. Badal dared the PPCC president Mr. Partap Singh Bajwa and other Congress leaders to work just for 5 days at the par of Mr. Parkash Singh Badal for the betterment of the common masses. He said that he was quiet confident that the luxury loving Congress leadership could not compete with the committed and dedicated Chief Minister even for an hour.
Mr. Badal warned the frustrated leaders of the Punjab Congress who wanted to gain cheap publicity by disrupting ‘sangat darshan’ programmes to be ready to meet the ire of the people who understood how sangat darshan programmes allowed ordinary citizens to put forward their demands directly to the Chief Minister.
Earlier, addressing the jam-packed rally at Nihal Singh Wala, Mr. Badal welcomed Mr. Ajit Singh Shant and his supporters in the party folds. He said that the homecoming of a dedicated political leader like Mr. Shant, matters a lot for the party’s strength. He said that the SAD-BJP government does not believe in vendetta or negative politics and has concentrated on accelerating development works in the state. Resultantly, the development projects initiated by the SAD-BJP government in the last years, have started fructifying thereby increasing the frustration of Congress party.
Dwelling on the development initiatives and governance reforms of the SAD-BJP government, Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal said that the state government has achieved a lot in the direction of easing the life of its residents besides increasing the pace of development. He said that whether it could be roads, drinking water, canal irrigation, power production and distribution, health facilities or any other, one could easily witness the sea change in the infrastructure during last six years and alliance was committed to fulfill all of its promises in the coming two years. He appealed the people of Punjab to ensure landsliding victory of alliance in the coming Lok Sabha elections so that Punjab could have its say in the NDA rule.
