Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal on Monday launched Youth for Punjab campaign in which the assembled youth vowed to start a hak sach di ladai against the khooni panja and outsider topiwala and usher in reelection of the SAD-BJP combine in the 2017 Assembly elections.
Sounding the poll bugle, a large number of Youth Akali Dal (YAD) supporters gathered at the party office and even jammed neighbouring roads and areas.
Badal gave an open challenge to the Congress and the AAP to try their might against the YAD. “No amount of coffee drinking bouts or defamation by outsiders will help either the defunct Capt or the liar Kejriwal”, the SAD president said adding “today’s rally has made it clear that the youth of Punjab is with the SAD-BJP combine.
“Today I get the same feeing as I did in December 2010 when youngsters got together and started a movement which eventually resulted in victory for the SAD-BJP alliance in 2012”, he added.
Making it clear that the tidal wave in support of the SAD would percolate down to the grass root level in days, the SAD president directed SAD general secretary Bikram Singh Majithia and YAD Patron Sharanjit Dhillon to spread this movement to each and every constituency in Punjab. “Within three months the khooni panja and the outsider topiwala should both be eradicated from the State”, he added.
Amidst enthusiastic sloganeering of Youth for Punjab — “Punjab Punjabian da” which continued for one hour and even endangered the stability of the stage for a moment, Badal also congratulated the youth for giving a resounding slap to AAP and the Congress. He said the unprecedented drug test done on more than one lakh youth as part of the ongoing police recruitment process had seen them come out with flying colours. “less than one per cent youngsters were tested positive”, he added.
