Bathinda, July 1

Preneet Kaur, former MP and MLA from Patiala, today held a meeting with Congress workers and advised them to put aside their differences and unite for the upcoming Assembly elections in the state.

Many speculations were put to rest today with Preneet declaring that she and her son Raninder Singh, who contested and lost the 2009 Lok Sabha elections from Bathinda, would not fight the Assembly elections.

Reiterating the statement of Captain Amarinder Singh declaring that only one member from his family would fight elections, she said while replying to media queries, “As stated by Captain earlier, only one member from our family will fight elections. The Congress will win under the leadership of Amarinder Singh this time.”

She was here to galvanise the Congress party’s door-to-door drive known as ‘Jan Sampark’ campaign.

She maintained that being the in-charge for Bathinda zone, she met party leaders and party workers.

She said leaders were being assigned duties to make the people aware of the policies of the Congress party by visiting houses.

The work under the campaign would be completed by August 8, she added.

Turning gun towards the Aam Aadmi Party, she said AAP had no experience rather it was just doing experiments.

“AAP is wasting the public money collected in the form of taxes in Delhi. The party is spending money on its campaign and advertisements in Punjab to win the elections,” she said.

AAP would waste the hard-earned money of the people of Punjab for its campaign in other states, if it comes to power, Preneet added.
