PATIALA: Congress candidate from Patiala Urban Preneet Kaur on Wednesday lashed out at Akali candidate Bhagwan Dass Juneja for allegedly blatantly threatening that there would be no development in Patiala if the people voted for the Congress.
Interacting with the people during a personal contact programme with the locals in various parts of the city here, Preneet Kaur referred to Juneja’s statement that there would be no development if there was an opposition representative in Patiala. “He has only endorsed what we have been saying that the Akalis have been discriminating against Patiala because they voted for Congress,” she pointed out while referring to Juneja openly saying during his campaign on Tuesday that development was not possible if the MLA did not belong to the ruling party.
“Can you still vote for such a party whose candidate is so shamelessly and bluntly threatening that there can be no development in an area which is represented by the opposition party,” she asked, adding, “even the Congress has been in power for a long time but it never discriminated against those who did not belong to Congress.” She said the Akali government in the state was running on the doles provided by the Congress-led UPA government.
