Shiromani Akali Dal President and Deputy Chief Minister Punjab Sukhbir Singh Badal today said that people of Patiala are all set to vote for social worker juneja to end ‘Rajwarashahi’ era from the Patiala legislative constituency.Addressing a mammoth gathering in favour of SAD-BJP candidate for Patiala bi poll Mr. Bhagwan Das Juneja, Mr. Badal said that Shiromani Akali Dal has opted Mr. Juneja as party candidate for his services to the society. He said that similar to Prime Minister Mr. Narinder Modi, Mr. Juneja has also started his career from a tea stall and reached the heights but never left any opportunity to serve the society. He said that one could easily see the trees planted for environment conservation and benches installed beneath these trees by Juneja for common people to enjoy the nature. He said that even the kids of the city were aware of the long list of contributions made by Mr. Juneja in social welfare.
Drawing a comparison between SAD-BJP candidate and Congress candidate, Mr. Badal said that on one hand alliance has opted for a candidate who is from the people and for the people, and on other hand Congress candidate is from a Maharaja family which is accessible to common people only during polls. Taking a dig at Captain Amrinder Singh, Mr. Badal said that people of Amritsar were repenting on their decision as Maharaja Sahib went to city only once after winning the parliamentary election. He said that people of Amritsar were not aware of Amrinder’s real face but Patialvis have witnessed this time and again. Mr. Badal said, “I am quite sure that amid this hot weather people of Patiala are going to miss Amrinder even during election campaign.”
Badal also appealed the voters of Patiala to question Mrs. Parneet Kaur that why she failed to bring any project or scheme during 10 years long Congress led UPA regime for the development of patiala despite being minister in the government. Mr. Badal said that Mrs. Parneet Kaur never bothered for the development of Patiala otherwise it could be an easy task for her.
Thanking the gathering for making the rally a grand success, Mr. Bhagwan Das Juneja said that working for social cause was always his passion and victory in this poll would strengthen him to contribute in social works more effectively. He said that he has decided to fight this bi poll as he has many dreams for the development of the Patiala city which could be fulfilled only after becoming a part of SAD-BJP government. He appealed the voters of Patiala to vote for SAD-BJP to ensure the speedy development of the city.Meanwhile, the entire leadership of SAD-BJP from Patiala in their speeches pledged from the rally stage that they would turn every stone to ensure historic victory of Mr. Juneja.
