Fatehgarh Sahib, January 11, 2017: Sukhbir Singh Badal, President SAD(B) today visited the residence of all those SAD(B) leaders, who have not joined the election campaign of official candidates from Fatehgarh Sahib and Bassi Pathana constituencies of the district to pacify and persuade them to join the election campaign by sorting out their gruievances with candidates. In Fatehgarh Sahib he visited the house of Karnail Singh Panjoli SGPC member to persuade him to join the campaign of SAD(B) candidate Didar Singh Bhatti. He appointed Panjoli Vice President of SAD(B). Sukhbir also visited house of another Chandumajra supporter Harbhajan Singh Chanarthal Chairman Market Committee Chanarthal to pacify him. He also visited house of Bibi Satwinder Kaur Dhaliwal in Bassi Pathana constituency to persuade her to join the campaign of Darbara Singh Guru SAD(B) candidate from Bassi Pathana. Sources told that Bibi’s son was adjusted as OSD to Deputy CM.
Addressing large number of SAD(B) workers belonging to Prof. Prem Singh Chandumajra group at the residence of Baljit Singh Bhoota Chairman Zila Parishad, who had not joined the campaign of Didar Singh Bhatti SAD(B) candidate from Fatehgarh Sahib said that
“Fatehgarh Sahib eda Wadhia Halka hai Kai Bar Mera Zee Karda Ethon hi Chon Lar Lawan, ki lor eni dur jan di. Maain Thonu Sahi Dasan ethe Akali Dal di 80% vote hai ate dujian partian di koi 20% hovegi” ( Fatehgarh Sahib is very safe constituency for SAD(B), sometimes I wish I may contest from here as SAD(B) has 80% share of votes and rest of the parties have 20%). Congress wins from here only when two Akalis contest, said When The Tribune asked him whether he is thinking seriously to contest from another seat, he replied no media I will contest from there only.
Interestingly speculations were ripe in media as a daily Punjabi newspaper had carried a report that Sukhbir Badal may contest from Fatehgarh Sahib creating confusion in the area among SAD(B) circles and widely discussed in Public. His remarks have further added fuel o the speculations.
Bhagwant Mann AAp candidate from Jallalabad, who was here to canvass for AAp candidate from Fatehgarh Sahib confirmed that Sukhbir will contest from Fatehgarh Sahib as he is not getting response in Jallalabad. He said Sukhbir will file papers five minutes before the expiry time of nomination day and he is keeping close watch and will also file on-line the same time.
He said in Punjab SAD(B) workers decide which party will form the Govt. If SAD(B) workers leave their house for few days and devote to campaigning then SAD(B) forms the Govt. and if they sit at their homes it is Congress which forms the Govt. He said it is up to you to decide, if want to rule for 25 years then pull up your socks and forget all differences, it is not candidate but party is contesting. You all enjoy power and chairs only due to SAD(B).
He said it is only SAD(B) political outfit which cares and belongs to Punjab and all decision are taken by themselves, whereas Congress depends upon Sonia and rushes to Delhi for getting tickets and most of them have deserted Punjab and camped in Delhi from the last one month, how they can compete us.
Similarly “ Topian Wale” belongs to Delhi and are migrants from UP Bihar and most of their campaigner are from other States and now Their shop has closed as Punjabis cannot tolerate non Punjabi to rule over them by becoming CM.
