Swaran Salaria’s victory in Gurdaspur parliamentary bypoll will be a real tribute to late Vinod Khanna, BJP national general secretary (Organisation) Ramlal said on Saturday. He was addressing the district level booth workers conference here.
Ramlal said, “We should proudly go amongst the masses and seek their support because during the past three years our Government has undertaken number of developmental schemes instead of indulging in scams. Scams were rampant during the Congress-led UPA rule and it had become synonymous with corruption”.
He exhorted the workers to take the welfare schemes started by the BJP Government in the centre to the people. “Tell the voters that the Congress always neglected development while the BJP started working in the interest of the nation right from the onset. We will win this election only on the sheer hard work of party workers”, he said.
Addressing the workers, Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore said that late Vinod Khanna was a hero in real life too. “It was because of the morals and values of the BJP that despite being a four-time MP, he had a clean image. He was the true solider of the BJP”, he said.
Terming the BJP workers present as true soldiers of the nation, Rathore said, “You might not be wearing an army uniform but you are the true soldier of this country and this is what separates the BJP workers from that of the Congress. BJP workers always work in the interest of the nation while Congress leaders give preference to their own interests”.
Addressing the workers, Punjab BJP president Vijay Samlpa said that the victory of SAD-BJP candidate is becoming conclusive day by day and the Congress is perturbed by it. Consequently, they are not only using pressure tactics against SAD-BJP workers but are also trying to lure them, he said.
