Reiterating his resolve to make Punjab a number one State in the country at all fronts, Sukhbir said that in coming two years, “there would be record progress in both urban and rural Punjab”.
“Punjab has made country self-reliant on food security front, now State has also made itself self-reliant in power besides having best road and air-connectivity and world class infrastructure in all sectors,” he said, accompanied by Bathinda MP and wife Harsimrat Kaur Badal, while talking to the media persons after presiding over a Sangat Darshan programme.
Answering a query regarding national political scene, Sukhbir said that if Congress is willing to come with Rahul Gandhi’s name as their Prime Ministerial candidate, “this singular step would be sufficient to drown the sinking ship of Congress party in the ensuing General Elections”.
He said that Congress has recently faced massive debacles in States and now electorates of the country would repeat the same mandate in national polity. Harsimrat added that neither country nor States can witness development and growth without formation of NDA Government. “Formation of NDA must in the interests of nation and Indians,” she said adding that national political stage was fully ready to decimate the Congress-led UPA Government.
Talking about the development projects in Bathinda district, Sukhbir said that more than 80 per cent works have been completed and they have directed the administration and concerned authorities to expedite the rest ones for the facilitation of general masses.
