Sukhbir Singh Badal, President Shiromani Akali Dal and Deputy Chief Minister Punjab today said that both SAD-BJP government's performance and strong wave in the favour of NDA’s prime ministerial candidate Mr. Narinder Modi have made the 16th Lok Sabha polls a one-sided affair in Punjab. He said that alliance would register record victory on all the 13 seats and no state other than Punjab would have cent percent result.Replying to media queries while campaigning for Mr. Manpreet Singh Ayali, SAD-BJP candidate from Ludhiana, Mr. Badal said that he had witnessed a strong wave in favour of SAD-BJP alliance while campaigning in the different parts of state. He said that he took these polls as an opportunity to get feedback people of the state as congress was no challenge for the alliance. “I’m happy that people of the state are satisfied with the development and pro people policies initiated by SAD-BJP alliance. They have some grievances too and they are confident that Punjab government would solve these problems once NDA elected into power at centre”, he added.
Badal said that NDA's prime ministerial candidate Mr. Narendra Modi has already been declared a champion by electoral surveys and the country will soon have an NDA government at the Centre. He said Mr. Modi has become synonym to development and this was another plus point for SAD-BJP alliance which was contesting these Lok Sabha polls on development agenda."People of the state have witnessed that SAD-BJP government has performed well to ensure overall development of the state even facing discrimination at the hand of Congress led UPA government. They know That Mr. Modi has strong ties with Mr. Badal besides having love for the state as he was incharge of the BJP Punjab Affairs for 5 years before becoming Chief Minister of Gujarat. Punjab is no exception to the Modi wave blowing in the country. He is the only hope for the bright future of the nation. Thus, these two factors have made this election a cake walk for the alliance", said Mr. Badal.
Describing Congress party as no match to alliance in the state, Mr. Badal said that Punjab has rejected the cheap politics, negative propaganda and destructive slogans of congress party time and again and these lok Sabha polls would pin last nail in its coffin. He said that on the other hand people of the state were giving thumping response to alliance's constructive politics which was based on the vision of overall development, peace and communal harmony.Replying to another query, Mr. Badal said that Mr. Manpreet Singh Badal was busy in framing new excuse everyday as he has sensed his clear defeat. He said that he did not want to comment more on a leader who has lost his credibility by back stabbing his political godfather besides betraying the people who trusted him. “He is a bag of lies. He is not more than a paper tiger who is attempting to be in news by giving misleading statements”, he added.
Later, Mr. Badal addressed a series of election rallies in the favour of Mr. Manpreet Singh Ayali. He appealed to the voters of the Ludhiana to vote in the favour of young and dynamic leader like Mr. Ayali. He said that all the latest surveys showed that NDA would come into power at its own thus people of the Ludhiana should vote for Ayali to have their say in the NDA government.
