Punjab Irrigation Minister and senior SAD leader Sharanjit Singh Dhillon on Monday described Deputy Chief Minister and SAD president Sukhbir Badal’s four-day south visit as a game changer for Punjab’s industrial scenario.
“He has been able to secure committed investments of thousands of crores within four days,” said Dhillon adding that Sukhbir was the only Deputy Chief Minister in the country who was personally going to the industrialists to seek investments as per the new relaxed single window industrial policy of the state.
Describing Sukhbir as “messiah of governance reforms,” Dhillon said that after scripting and implementing innovative and people centric policies and programmes in several area including industry, commerce, road connectivity, health, etc and making Punjab first power surplus State of the country, Sukhbir has caught the fancy of top industrialists who during his southern tour vied with each other to invest in Punjab.
“Right from BSA Cycles, Apollo Hospitals, GMR Group, GVK Group, Nuziveedu Seeds, every industrialist is more eager to become partner in growth of Punjab’s industry that is going to surpass the growth of southern states,” said Dhillon. Advising the Congress to shed its negative mindset, Dhillon said that the Congress should now accept the reality of sitting in opposition for next 25 years as SAD president is determined to script the new development scenario of Punjab.
