Punjab eagerly awaits Amit Shah’s visit; enthusiasm building for BJP’s March 14 Moga rally: Sunil Jakhar
Ludhiana: Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar on Friday said that people across the state are eagerly waiting for the visit of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who will lead the party’s rally in Moga on March 14. Jakhar made the statement after reviewing preparations for the rally.
He said the situation in Punjab is currently “extremely critical,” adding that the state is facing a heavy debt burden and people are living in an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty across the state. In such circumstances, Jakhar said many citizens are looking towards the Bharatiya Janata Party with hope, believing that only strong leadership can bring the state out of the present crisis.
Drawing a comparison with India’s first Home Minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, known as the “Iron Man of India,” Jakhar said Amit Shah is being regarded as the “Iron Man of modern India.” He added that Shah has deep concern for Punjab and said the appointment of a Punjabi as the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi is a matter of pride for the state.
Jakhar also targeted the AAP-led Punjab government, alleging that it has failed on every front. He claimed that the Congress, as the opposition, has “surrendered” before Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and that people’s issues have disappeared from the agendas of both the government and the opposition.
According to him, the alliance between AAP and Congress has become evident, which is why Rahul Gandhi did not criticize the AAP government during his recent visit to Punjab.
Raising questions for AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal, whom he referred to as the “super CM of Punjab,” Jakhar said that while the government claims it will honour women by presenting the budget on International Women’s Day, it should also clarify the role of Vaibhav Kumar in the Punjab government, who has allegedly assaulted a woman MP.
He also demanded that the government account for the financial assistance promised to women, particularly the pending amount of ₹48,000 per woman for the past 48 months.
Commenting on the ongoing Punjab Assembly session, Jakhar questioned Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa, asking whether he would raise the issue in the Assembly regarding PRTC buses being sent to Jaipur for painting in AAP party colours.
He further questioned why contracts are being given outside Punjab, asking whether the state does not have painters capable of carrying out such work. Jakhar said the public deserves to know the reasons behind these decisions.
