Nawanshahr, November 12
To mock at the functioning of the state government, an Akali leader of Balachaur constituency today organised a ‘Janta Darbar’ and posed various questions to the dummy CM and dummy MLA seated on the stage donning paper face masks.
The event was organised in the grain market of Balachaur today. A stage was created for the arrival of leaders. Chairs were laid for the public to enjoy the event. Various banners and posters were put around to mock at the state leadership. One of the posters read, Mukh mantri di jhooth di dukan – Naukrian hi naukrian’. Another one read, Mukh mantra di loot di dukan – DAP khad hi khad.
On the stage, three persons were made to sit. The first one came dressed like CM Charanjit Singh Channi and donned a mask made out of his photograph. The second one was the area MLA Darshan Singh Mangupur and third was for the MLA’s son on whose mask ‘Munda tax’ was written.
Akali leader Rajwinder Singh Lucky took to mike as he asked Channi as to why the mandi had been closed even as there were some farmers who were yet to sell their paddy. The next poser was on the shortage and black marketing of DAP fertiliser owing to which the farmers were not able to sow wheat in time. The third question was on no attempt to retain the industry. Here he quoted the case of DCM factory which shut down about three years ago.
As the volley of questions continued, the dummy CM only replied, “Channi karega masle hal (Channi will solve the problems)”. Lucky even quizzed the MLA and asked him about the lack of provisions at the Civil Hospital and no availability of CT scan facility. The next questions were on no stadium, 40 out of 48 vacant posts of patwaris, corruption in tehsil complex, poor sewage facilities and non-functional pipes of the Kandi canal in the area.
The mockery concluded with the leaders unable to give any conclusive reply and leaving the venue as people continued to ask them more questions. Lucky said that his idea was only to highlight the poor functioning of the government in a funny manner and put the message across well.
