Harsimrat Kaur Badal during Election Campaign
Gurdaspur, April 8: The Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee President Partap Singh Bajwa, today questioned the hyperbolic claims of the Chief Minister, Parkash Singh Badal and the Deputy Chief Minister, Sukhbir Singh Badal, about the state turning power surplus after the inauguration of the three new thermal plants in the state. Bajwa, who is seeking re-election to the Lok Sabha from Gurdaspur seat, was addressing workers meeting at Batala which was attended by Ashwani Sekhri and his supporters. Sekhri assured Bajwa that he would ensure better lead for him than the last election from the Batala Assembly segment which he represents. Thanking to Sekhri, Bajwa said the honour of Majha was at stake and the issues involved in this election were bigger. \"We have to work hard to win each and every seat to strengthen the hands of the party President Smt. Sonia Gandhi and the vice-president, Rahul Gandhi\", he added. Addressing the party workers, Bajwa said the state government had inaugurated three thermal plants in the state in the last three months including at Talwandi Sabo and Rajpura but none of them was generating power at the commercial level. The inaugurations had just been done to cash upon in the Lok Sabha elections but the people had now seen through the designs and they could not be misled. He asserted the Badal government has met with utter failure on all fronts, the latest example being the investment summit which had failed to generate even a single paisa of investment despite projecting the claims of Rs. 65,000 crore investment. He said the industrial sector was in deep crisis with about 18770 units having shut down during the last few years. Referring to the promises made by the Akali Dal in its manifesto in the last Assembly election, the PPCC chief said a lot of emphasis was laid on social security measures. Some of the pensions like old age pensions were to be doubled as part of the manifesto. However, what to talk of doubling the amount, even the pensions for the last six months had not been cleared. The people could not be misled all the times. Such promises and claims had fallen flat because the ruling party was neither committed not sincere about the welfare of the people. \"The ruling alliance leaders have just one agenda and it is self-welfare. The people are remembered only during the elections\", he added. It was the business of the ruling family that had multiplied. He dwelt at length on the welfare schemes undertaken by the UPA government which had benefitted the common man. The number of days under which work is to be provided under MNREGA had been hiked from 100 to 150. The Right to Information Act was a major step in making the governance transparent and a check on corruption. It was the UPA government which had enacted Food Security and Right to Education legislations. None would sleep hungry in this vast country. He said in Punjab, the Akali Dal-BJP government was exploiting this scheme as its own. He said similarly, the government would take care of health of the people under the Right to Health scheme. Other Congress leaders from Batala who participated in the meeting were S. Buta Singh Bajwa Malikpur, S. Sukhwinder Singh Kahlon Sherpur, Kashmir Singh Member Wadala, Gian Singh Pardhan Wadala, Tarlochan Singh Dhanne, Harbhajan Singh Ex-Sarpanch Qila Tek Singh, Pritam Singh Korewala, Manjit Singh President BCC Batala Rural, Manjit Singh Lambardar Cheeme, Rajinder Singh, Gulzar Singh Ex-Sarpanch Kaler Kalan, Joginder Singh Advocate Kaler, Tehal Singh, Dalbir Singh Tatla, Baldev Singh, Amrik Singh, Sabi Gonspur, Sabi Thekedar Batala, Gurdial Singh, Bishan Singh, Darbara Singh, Kartar Chand, Nishan Singh, Tarlochan Singh, Khokhar Advocate, Sanjeev Sharma, Mandeep Singh Sandhu, Hardev Singh Kahlon, Jaspal Singh, Kashmir Singh Natt.
