Talwandi Sabo (Bathinda) : Kicking off his campaign for the bypolls in assembly constituency, the Punjab Pradesh Congress President, Partap Singh Bajwa today reached out to the electorates asking them not to divide the anti-incumbency vote between Congress and Aam Aadmi party (AAP).
Presuming AAP a potent threat to the vote sharing in area, he appealed people to give a solid mandate for the party candidate Harmohinder Singh Jassi as the AAP had no future.
Claiming that the Congress will win Talwandi seat and retain the Patiala seat, Bajwa said that countdown for corrupt, non-performing and anti-people government headed has begun. He called upon the people to give a crushing defeat to Jeet Mohinder Singh Sidhu, whose defection to the Akali Dal had necessitated by-election.
Talking to media persons after inaugurating main election office of Jassi here he alleged that Sidhu had stabbed Congress in back for vested interests but had failed to get any respectable space in that party, although he had been given the ticket by the Akali Dal as he had joined that party only after getting this assurance.
He rapped the Badal government for having failed to fulfil its promises made in the last Assembly election like hike in shagun scheme, laptops to students, Rs 1000 per month unemployment allowance and hike in old age pension. He said this government was the distinction of its all-round failure and gave a call to the people to teach this government as lesson. He said the results of the two by-elections would mark the start of the end of the Badal regime. President Bathinda Rural Gura Singh Tungwali, President Bathinda Urban Mohan Lal Jhumba, president DCC Moga Darshan Singh Brar, general secretaries Pawan Adhia, Raj Kumar Chabewal, Rajanbir Singh and secretaries Iqbal Singh Dhillon and Tehal Singh Sandhu accompanied him.
