Chandigarh, February 19
Under its nationwide campaign to expose the BJP government, the Chandigarh Congress has started Jan-Vedna Panchayats, which will be organised in every ward of the city. Bansal said the Modi government had destroyed country’s cash economy by hitting out at poor, farmers, labourers, artisans, small shopkeepers and businesses.
Manoj Chauhan, observer of the party, and Pardeep Chhabra, president of the city Congress, were among other party leaders participated in the events.
Chauhan said poor, farmers, labourers, shopkeepers, small businesses, middle class and the entire unorganised sector in the country had, in particular, been severely affected by demonetisation.
Chhabra said residents of the city were facing their “worst” days after the BJP government came to power. Even, slum dwellers were not getting flats under rehabilitation schemes which were launched by the Congress government in the past. — TNS
