Chandigarh, December 20

Former Union Minister Pawan Bansal, while addressing a public meeting in Sector 32 in favour of Congress candidate Balwinder Kaur, lambasted the BJP for hurting the pride of city residents by lowering the status of Chandigarh in all areas. He reiterated the resolve of the Chandigarh Congress to bring back the past glory of the city.

The former minister said Chandigarh’s number one status in terms of cleanliness, hygiene and sanitation would be brought back. City roads would be made pothole-free within six months.

“The BJP has been falsely claiming that it has improved basic amenities and law and order situation in the city. However, the real situation is exactly opposite. One can see piles of garbage, broken pavements and poor condition of roads across the city,” he said.

General Secretary AICC Harish Chaudhary said: “We are winning the elections with a thumping majority. After coming to power, we will increase revenue from the Centre as well as from other sources and minimise the burden on residents.”
