People will vote for BJP in bypolls, says former Rajya Sabha MP
While addressing mediapersons here today, former Rajya Sabha MP Shwait Malik said people in Chabbewal, Barnala, Dera Baba Nanak and Gidderbaha will vote in favour of the BJP in the upcoming bypolls.
Malik said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had got the corridor of Shri Kartarpur Sahib constructed, celebrated the Martyrdom Day of Sahibzadas as Veer Bal Diwas and declared a holiday in the country on the occasion.
The 555 birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev and 400 Parkash Utsav of Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib were celebrated with pomp and splendour, he said. The minimum support price of crops was increased every year for the betterment of farmers, he said.
The Modi-led BJP government exempted GST over langar served at Darbar Sahib, he said. Farmers were given Rs 6,000 per year under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi and free health insurance of Rs 5 lakh was provided to the people of the country, he said. Clean water was provided to every household, he added.
The Congress attacked Harmandir Sahib and was guilty of the Sikh genocide in 1984, said Malik. Nothing was given to Punjab by the Manmohan Singh-led Congress government at the Centre during its 10 year rule. The water of Punjab was diverted from Sutlej to Yamuna during the Congress regime, said Malik.
Targeting the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Malik said, “Since two years, local body elections have not been held as the AAP fears losing in the polls. The promise of Rs 1,000 per month for women has not fulfilled. Development works have stopped in Punjab. Sand mafia, drug mafia, land mafia and liquor mafia is flourishing under the pressure of gangsters and terrorists.”
“Oppression of farmers, traders, industrialists, government employees, youth, women and Dalits has become a common in Punjab. The AAP made a false promise to the people of Punjab to open Mohalla Clinics, new schools, colleges and hospitals,” said Malik.
He said the BJP was the right party for Punjab, which worked to solve people’s problems. While the Congress, being the Opposition party, compromised with the AAP to fulfil its personal interests and took Punjab on the path of destruction, he said.
