Punjab Revenue & Public Relations Minister Bikram Singh Majithia on Friday inaugurated 4-km long bridge on river Beas constructed at a cost of Rs 62.50 crore at Dhanoa Pattan to connect Doaba region with the Majha region.
Addressing a gathering, the Minister said that with the inauguration of the bridge a long pending demand from last 60-65 years of the people of this region has been fulfilled.
He said the bridge would prove beneficial for the people of districts Hoshiarpur and Gurdaspur, especially the farmers of the adjoining areas whose farms were on the both sides of the river Beas. The distance between Gurdaspur and Hoshiarpur would be reduced by 50 km.
labeling AAP as Ayash Aadmi Party, Majithia said that its leaders are facing trials in corruption, criminal and women molestation cases.
He said that despite of proofs of corruption and women molestation provided by their own leaders and workers against the AAP outsiders controlling party in Punjab, Kejriwal has taken no action against them.
Attacking Congress, Majithia said that it is a divided house and the party is still in ICU due to anti-people measures such as imposing electricity bills on farmers, stopping all facilities to the schedule castes, poor and traders.
He advised Congress to stop day dreaming about coming into power saying that surveys would not help it.
