Ludhiana, May 22, 2024: Ravneet Bittu, BJP candidate from Ludhiana today expressed his anguish over the spoiling congenial atmosphere and the festivity of elections in the villages of Punjab by so-called farmers at the behest of Congress and AAP.
Bittu also said that farmers shall help the central government to implement schemes that are beneficial for Punjab.
He said that one of the major steps of the Narinder Modi government would be the opening of Wagha border for trade. He said that Union Minister Nitin Gadkari had already made the blue print and Wagha border would open within one year of formation of the BJP government.
Bittu in a video statement appealed to farmers and rural people to be aware of the designs of handful of miscreants and not allow them to end the harmony for which our state is known.
He said that he had no doubt that those protesting against BJP were sponsored by Congress and AAP. He added that genuine farmers have no time to indulge in such activities as they are busy harvesting and preparing for the paddy plantation.
Bittu said that he was surprised to see that an atmosphere of tension was prevailing in all the villages. He said that in the past villagers were at the forefront to enjoy the fervor of elections.
He said that Lok Sabha poll was the biggest festival of democracy and it is people's right to participate and elect their representatives. He said that small farmers needed the support of government more than anybody else. But the protest against political leaders had isolated the small farmers.
The BJP leader added that farmers visit Ludhiana city and other towns, they do shopping and attend family functions but they behave differently when they return to their villages. This kind of behavior would damage the brotherhood in villages and bitterness would spill over even after the elections.
He said that if villagers would not participate in the election process, how their problems would be mitigated? He stated that villages were getting maximum funds under central schemes like MANAREGA and PM Awaas Yojna.
He appealed the people of Ludhiana and particularly the rural residents to vote for BJP to get maximum benefits in the new government. He said that Ludhiana residents must add one pearl to sting of 400 seats, BJP is going to win. It would be a great honor for Ludhiana to have their representative in the BJP government at the centre.
He said that voting for the winning party was the need of the hour. He said that BJP would give health insurance and would make 2 lakh women 'Lakpati Didis' in Ludhiana alone.
