They were shouting slogans in favour of Capt Amarinder. On the way he was stopped by people who talked to him and wished him good luck.Acknowledging their noble gesture, Capt Amarinder promised that he will ensure that he came to their expectations. He said, he was touched by the love and affection showered by the people of Amritsar during the last one month.Appealing them to vote for him on April 30, he said, Amritsar needs a better voice in the parliament who should understand the problems of the people better.After passing through various areas, the road-show concluded at Shaheed Udham Singh Nagar. The Congress has demanded transfer of SSP Gurdeep Singh Gill for working for the ruling party alliance candidate.In a complaint to the CEC, Rana Gurjit Singh, covering candidate for Capt Amarinder Singh said that they had proof that he was forcing his juniors to influence voters in the jurisdiction of the district. This was not the first time this had been done and it had been brought to the notice of the authorities earlier too but to no avail.
