Tarn Taran, February 9

AAP MLA Kulwant Singh Pandori on Tuesday accused the Akali Dal, Congress and the BJP of promoting drug trade in the state for “personal benefits”.

“Leaders of these parties misled people, who will now take revenge by defeating their candidates in the upcoming municipal bodies’ election and in the assembly election next year,” Pandori said.

Addressing public gatherings in Patti and Bhikhiwind while campaigning for the party candidates for the MC poll, he said Punjab had been ruled by the Akali-BJP and the Congress for the past 70 years, but the wrong policies of these parties ruined the state. “But now people have become aware. They will no longer fall into the trap of false promises,” he said.

Pandori said every AAP candidate who would win the upcoming poll would focus on building concrete roads in various localities, making streetlights functional in all areas and putting in place a workable drainage system.

He said Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi Government had set an example of development in front of the world by giving good education, health and free electricity to the locals. “Similarly, in Punjab also, we will set an example of development by improving the health and education sector,” he added.

The party activists organised marches in Patti and Bhikhiwind in favour of the party candidates.
