The rally was organised by senior Congress leader Malkit Singh Dakha.
Bhattal said that economy of Punjab was based on agriculture and farmers were its wheels. “Suicides by farmers was a shameful thing for the government but surprisingly nothing has been done for the welfare of farmers,” said Bhattal.
“The SAD-led state government is claiming that it has done developmental projects in the state, but people of the state can witness the deplorable condition of infrastructure here,” she said.
Senior leader of the party Santosh Chowdhary was also present at the event. She said that people of the state were unhappy with the present ruling government and want to change it.
Dakha said that Congress is a united party and working in direction to form a government after assembly elections.
