Punjab Congress President Partap Singh Bajwa who is seeking re-election from Gurdaspur, on Tuesday appealed to the people to send back Akali Dal-BJP candidate Vinod Khanna to Mumbai and show proper place to Aam Aadmi Party candidate Sucha Singh Chhotepur.
Bajwa alleged that Khanna was an alien to Gurdaspur despite having represented this seat earlier as he had nothing to do with this area. He never visited this region after having been defeated in the last lok Sabha election. He said Khanna had come back from Mumbai only after the BJP announced his name.The state Congress Presiden said while Khanna was a paratrooper from Mumbai, Chhotepur, was a rank opportunist who had been changing his parties almost every day.
He said his loyalty had always been under suspicion in every party he joined.His only priority was self-interest.Bajwa claimed that Modi was a non issue in Punjab and the people have resolved to take a revenge against the current rulers who had been treating them with scorn.He called upon the people to exercise their choice judiciously and defeat the forces of regression represented by Khanna and the forces of opportunism symbolised by Chhotepur.
