Delighted by the results, Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar on Wednesday launched “Capt for 2022” campaign.
“The message is loud and clear. People have given their mandate for Capt Amarinder Singh as the government near its term early next year. It is for everyone to see,” said Jakhar. “I would like to launch a campaign ‘Captain for 2022’. Only he can steer the ship of the state through these turbulent times when Punjab is being discriminated against by the BJP-led Centre,” Jakhar said while talking to the mediapersons.
Sources revealed armed with civic body results, the Congress Government is all set to launch a campaign projecting Capt Amarinder Singh as the saviour of Punjab.
Jakhar also expressed his support for Capt Amarinder as the party’s chief ministerial candidate for the next assembly elections. Punjab goes to the polls in early 2022.
“People have rejected negative politics and voted for our development agenda,” he said.
“Be it traders, small traders or youth, they kept one thing in mind that the future of Punjab lies safe in Congress’ hands. People know that Congress party can further take the state on the path of growth and development by ensuring an atmosphere of peace, harmony and brotherhood,” Jakhar said.
