Candidates go full throttle to woo voters in Ambala Cantonment

With campaigning at its peak, candidates and political parties are going full throttle to woo voters and improve their foothold in Ambala Cantonment.

From poaching each other’s supporters to holding meetings with leaders of religious, social and other associations, candidates are making all efforts to strengthen their base for the Assembly elections.

While the BJP is seeking votes in the name of work done, and have been slamming Opposition for alleged irregularities in its previous tenure, the Congress is raising concerns of farmers, unemployment and law and order situation.

Former Haryana Home Minister and candidate from Ambala Cantonment Anil Vij, who is confident of retaining his seat, has been slamming the Congress for ignoring Ambala Cantonment constituency during its regime.

“The constituency was neglected during the Congress regime but under the BJP’s tenure the Ambala Cantonment segment witnessed unprecedented development. Ambala residents have seen the changes and improvement in infrastructure. Everyday, people from all sections are coming forward to join the BJP and we are confident that the voters will continue to support the party and play its role in forming the government for the third time,” he said.

Congress candidate Parvinder Singh Pari, who is focusing on public meetings, believes that the people of Ambala will vote for change and he will win this seat for the party.

“People know me and my style of working. I have raised civic issues and the problems of the people of Ambala effectively. I have been a dedicated worker of Congress. Due to the wrong policies of the BJP, youth are sitting unemployed, farmers are sitting at Shambhu border and law and order situation has deteriorated. Projects are lying incomplete in the Sadar area causing inconvenience to residents. I assure people that if given opportunity, I will resolve the long-pending issues.”

Meanwhile, Congress rebel and Independent candidate Chitra Sarwara, who has been holding public meetings and door-to-door campaign is giving stiff competition to the BJP and Congress candidates.

While interacting with the public, she raised civic issues and pending projects to garner support, and said, “We have been working hard in the field for several years and raising public concerns. The people of Ambala have been struggling due to poor roads, waterlogging, stray cattle and garbage. Projects are lying pending due to corruption and we have been raising this problem. I am confident that the people will support us and we will bring the change in the area.”
