Goyal: Saffron party ended horse-trading in mayoral poll

Panchkula, December 21

BJP’s mayoral candidate Kulbhushan Goyal on Monday said his party ended the era when Mayor was elected through horse trading. “For the first time, the Mayor’s election is going to be direct. It will curtail trading of councillors to select Mayor,” Goyal added.

While campaigning at various places, including Rajiv Colony, Indira Colony, Khark Mangoli, Madrasi Colony and Ashiana Complex today, Goyal spoke about his vision for Panchkula if elected as Mayor.

Goyal gave credit to Haryana Speaker and local MLA Gian Chand Gupta for bringing various development projects to the city. Ever since the BJP government was formed six years ago, the water and electricity supply had improved in the city, Goyal added.

The BJP leader also blamed the Congress for poor condition of roads in the city.

“The Congress did nothing during its tenure. The BJP after coming into power improved health facilities like upgradation of 100-bed to 300-bed at the Civil Hospital. The party also improved facilities like dialysis, MRI and CT scan at the government hospital,” Goyal said.

“In the field of education, only two English government schools were there in the city. The BJP government started 55 English medium schools in the city,” Goyal added. — TNS
