The election campaign of Balbir Singh Sidhu, Congress Candidate from Mohali saw a large number of meetings in various Phases of Mohali and adjoining villages. Speaking on the occasion Mr. Sidhu said that it was time for the people of Mohali to discard the Akali Government who for full five years had a single point agenda of toppledemocratically elected Municipal Council to take out their political vendetta. They were not bothered that the development of the city suffered. On top of that the Badal now played a cruel joke with the people of Mohali by nominating candidate like Ramoowalia who has a history of betraying people like SantLongowal and HarkishenSurjeet. It seems Mr. Badal thinks that people of Mohali shall pardon him for these misdeeds. He appealed to all that they must vote for Congress on 30th and send a strong message that misrule shall not be tolerated.
