Chandigarh (Balwinder Singh): Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that a yatra was being taken out to make Punjab drug-free and urged the people of Punjab to unite against drugs so that the state could become not only drug-free but also economically strong.
The Chief Minister was addressing public representatives from Nawanshahr at Sant Kabir Kutir. He also welcomed a team led by Tempo Union president Kamaljit Rana into the BJP by draping party scarves around its members and extended his congratulations and best wishes to them on joining the party.
Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that the “wrong policies” of the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party had pushed Punjab backwards. He alleged that the AAP government had turned out to be even more corrupt than the Congress and had worked to ruin the state. He said the people of Punjab had now firmly resolved to form a BJP government under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi and build a strong and developed Punjab.
The Chief Minister said the AAP and Congress had promised employment for youth, corruption- and drug-free governance and farmers’ welfare, but the people had become disappointed with these hollow promises and had now decided to bring about a change. He said the people of Punjab had earlier shown the Congress the door due to its wrong policies and would now also show the AAP government the door.
*AAP Also Used Shaheed Bhagat Singh’s Name to Make False Promises*
The Chief Minister said AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal had invoked honesty, employment for 20 lakh youth and Shaheed Bhagat Singh in his campaign, which had led people to be misled, but he too had betrayed the people of Punjab. He said Sardar Bhagat Singh had sacrificed his life with the vision that future generations could breathe freely and live a secure life. He alleged that the AAP government had also insulted Shaheed Bhagat Singh and should apologise to the people of Punjab for making false promises in his name. The Chief Minister said the Aam Aadmi Party was no longer an “Aam Aadmi” party but had become a “Khaas Aadmi” party, with no concern for the youth.
He said Punjab was not merely a state but a symbol of culture, thought and spirit, and had once been the number-one state in the country. It was the sacred land of Gurus, saints, martyrs and bravehearts. He said the people of Punjab were hardworking and lived their lives with mutual love and affection.
Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said the people of Punjab had given the AAP government five years and it should have served them by delivering better governance. Instead, he alleged, the AAP and Congress governments had only worked to “loot” Punjab and its innocent people.
Referring to the work undertaken by the Haryana Government, the Chief Minister said the BJP government in Haryana had set an example by providing employment to youth without “parchi-kharchi”. He said that once a BJP government was formed in Punjab, development works would be undertaken on the lines of Haryana and all welfare policies would be implemented in the same manner to benefit the people.
Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said the Haryana Government had enacted a law to crack down on those playing with the future of youth through “dunki routes”. Strict action would be taken against those involved, and their centres could also be sealed. He said the state had also established a Foreign Service Department to help youth secure employment abroad. The department brings vacancies from foreign countries, following which youth are selected and sent abroad for employment.
Addressing the gathering, Haryana Public Works Minister Sh. Ranbir Singh Gangwa said that wherever Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini had campaigned, the BJP organisation had strengthened, and the party had formed governments. He said the Chief Minister had earlier visited Maharashtra, Delhi and Assam, where BJP governments were subsequently formed. He said the Chief Minister was now campaigning in Punjab, where the BJP’s support base was continuously expanding, which clearly indicated that the time for change had come.
Sh. Ranbir Gangwa said the present Haryana Government had fulfilled the promises made to the people. He said that after forming a government in Punjab, the BJP would work effectively from the very first day and make the state drug-free, economically strong and prosperous.
Nawanshahr district in-charge Jitender Atwal, Kapoor Singh, Kapil Kunal, Ashok Balaucha, Dalip Singh, Javed, Balwinder, Gaurav Gaba, Yadvendra, OSD to Chief Minister B.B. Bharti, Rakesh Sandhu, Advisor to Chief Minister, for Foreign Cooperation Department, Government, Sh. Pawan Choudhary and other dignitaries from Punjab were present on the occasion.
