Rajnath Singh promises drug-free regime in Punjab

Moga/Amritsar February 17

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today said the BJP was the best party to provide a corruption-free and drug-free regime in the state.

He lashed out at the Aam Aadmi Party for allegedly making false promises. He was in Moga to campaign for the local BJP candidate and sitting MLA Dr Harjot Kamal.

In Amritsar, he addressed a rally in support of BJP candidate from Amritsar Central Dr Ram Chawla. He visited Durgiana Mandir and the Golden Temple. The Defence Minister promised all Centre-sponsored schemes would be fully implemented in the state if the BJP assumed power. He appealed to the public to keep the “Congress and AAP away from power.

He said while the AAP had allotted liquor shops in every street of Delhi, it ironically talked about making Punjab a ‘drug-free’ state. Attacking the Congress, he said the two batsmen (CM Channi and PCC chief Navjot Sidhu) had been batting simultaneously. “No one in the Congress wants to be a non-striker, he said. In Nangal, he campaigned in support of party candidate Dr Parminder Sharma. —
