MLA Vikramjit Singh Chaudhary, along with PPCC president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring and senior Congress leadership, inaugurated an election office in Goraya city of Phillaur assembly constituency here on Wednesday.
The opening saw a large gathering of councillors, ex-councillors, sarpanches, panches, and other office bearers in the audience who pledged their unwavering support to the party.
Chaudhary in a fiery speech said, "every single person present here can give their life for the party, and I owe my everything to these people, who sent my father to the Parliament, even during the ‘Modi Wave’."
Chaudhary said that he will ensure that his father's work continues, just like any other worker of the party will do, no matter what. He criticized the AAP government for not fulfilling their promise of providing 1,000 rupees to every woman in the state.
He said, "It's been 14 months, which means 14000 rupees is owed by this government to each woman in Punjab. Can they answer where that money is and what happened to their promises? If they can answer just that honestly, we can all leave politics."
Chaudhary asked people to question them about their unfulfilled promises. He said, "When AAP politicians come to ask for votes here, ask them - You told us, the government will be of the Dalits, the poor and will have a Deputy Chief Minister from the Dalit Community.
What happened to that promise?" He highlighted the work done by the previous Congress government that had a Dalit Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi for just three months, who has now become a victim of this government’s misuse of the vigilance bureau.
Chaudhary asserted that he is standing shoulder to shoulder with the people to protect them from this government and appealed to them to vote for Congress candidate Karamjit Kaur Chaudhary.
He said, "Our Candidate Karamjit Kaur Chaudhary is your mother, your sister, your friend. You have to make sure she wins. "Chaudhary dedicated the upcoming by poll to his late father and said that a win in this election would be a true homage to Jalandhar & Punjab’s son Santokh Singh Chaudhary.
Whilst challenging the false claims made by the opposition, he said, "Other parties couldn’t even find one candidate from Jalandhar in their own parties; everyone had to borrow people either from our party, other parties or outside of Jalandhar."The leaders observed a moment of silence in memory of former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.
