Ludhiana, December 30
The SAD candidate from Ludhiana (West) constituency sprung a surprise by virtually launching his poll campaign even as most other political parties have yet to announce their officials candidates for the forthcoming Assembly elections. At the first election meeting in Jawahar Nagar today, Grewal was accorded a welcome by people from all walks of life. Especially, women in large numbers greeted the SAD leader with stickers carrying party slogans.
Residents of the area shared their day to day problems, including a raw deal given by the Congress government during its over four years rule. Residents said they expected a lot from Akali Dal.
Targeting the Congress government for making false promises with the public, Grewal said there was a widespread feeling of being cheated among the electorate.
Grewal assured people that if they vote for SAD and bring the party in power, he would definitely deliver. “I shall do my best to solve problems being faced by you,” Grewal told residents present at the meeting.
Grewal also said that for five years Congress government had just fooled residents and now, Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party’s national convener Arvind Kejriwal was constantly trying to lure people through fake guarantees.
“Now, people understand these tactics. They will not fall in the trap of fake promises made by the Congress and the AAP. The people will bring the SAD-BSP combine in power so that the new alliance can bring Punjab back on the path of progress,” Grewal added. — OC
