Talwandi Sabo : PPCC chief Partap Singh Bajwa today dubbed the SAD-BJP alliance as a marriage of convenience. He claimed the two parties were actually working at cross-purposes. He was addressing a gathering at a village in Talwandi Sabo.
The PPCC chief said former BJP minister Satpal Gosain and former Ludhiana Improvement Trust chairman MM Vyas had started a “Punjab Bachao Morcha” to take up the problems confronting industrialists. Local Bodies minister Anil Joshi too had objected to some of the decisions taken by the government. He called upon the BJP leaders to introspect whether it was right to remain in the government under such “humiliating conditions” when its ministers had no say in decision-making.
