Hoping to cash in on anti-BJP mood in the country on the farmers’ issue, Congress mayoral candidate Upinder Kaur Ahluwalia today held back-to-back public meetings in Naggal Khurd, Moginand, Jaisinghpura, Bhanu, Kishangarh, Mankiyaan, Billa and Jaswantgarh villages and lambasted the BJP for its anti-agrarian policies.

“It’s your love and affection that keep us motivated to work for your betterment. During my previous tenure as the Mayor, my prime concern was to provide civic amenities in the rural areas. It will again be our priority to work for you, if you vote and support us again,” Ahluwalia said, adding that she would assure all-round development of their respective areas, if voted to power.

Former Deputy Chief Minister Chander Mohan, who accompanied Ahluwalia during public meetings, urged villagers to teach the BJP a lesson for bringing farmers on roads.

“It’s karma that pays back. They have played with the sentiments of farmers by forcing them to leave fields and sit on the road in this cold,” said Chander Mohan.

Ward coordinators appointed

The Congress on Saturday appointed coordinators in all 20 wards for better poll management.
