Punjab Congress president and party candidate from Gurdaspur, Partap Singh Bajwa on Tuesday called upon his opponent from the Akali Dal supported BJP candidate Vinod Khanna to explain his stand on the Sikh farmers settled in Kutch area of Gujarat who were facing eviction threat.
Bajwa along with local MlA Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa toured Hardo Jhande, Dhadiala Natt, Saar Chur and Kala Afgana villages of Fatehgarh Churian Assembly Segment and said the Gujarat Chief Minister and NDA’s prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi had failed to come to the rescue of these beleaguered farmers who had turned these wastelands into green lands through hard labour during the last 50 years.
Taking on Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, he said he was always dictated by personal and family interests rather than the interests of Punjab, Punjabis and the Sikhs. “He has adopted a policy to appease the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate for very personal reason in case the NDA comes to power,” Bajwa alleged.
He said Badal was under the illusion of a Modi wave sweeping across Punjab whereas the situation was to the contrary with tsunami of anti-incumbency against his government gaining strength every day which would demolish the edifice of his repressive, corrupt and anti-people Government.
