This never happened in the last 70 years and will never happen”, he asserted adding in the new scenario regional parties would emerge stronger

Punjab (RNI) When queried about the mood of the people in Punjab, Mr Badal said “Punjabis feel betrayed by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its leadership. They have lost all hope from chief minister Bhagwant Mann and regard him as a drunkard who can do nothing for them”. He said people had also realized that AAP and Congress were one side of the same coin and that both parties were playing a friendly match because they were aligned with each other at the national level.
 
The SAD president said the chief minister had also fallen at union home minister Amit Shah’s feet to escape being arrested in the Punjab liquor scam case. He said the collusion between the two could be seen from the AAP government’s about turn on BJP candidate Parampal Kaur’s resignation and its immediate acceptance within one day of opposition from the chief minister.

 
Mr Badal said in such a situation the SAD had emerged as the strongest party in the Lok Sabha elections. “People feel that the SAD alone can take all communities with it and ensure all round development as well as peace and communal harmony”. He also disclosed how the party’s Punjab Bachao Yatra was receiving a phenomenal response in the field with thousands of people coming on the roads to welcome it in every constituency. “People are showing an emotional connection with the SAD which will be reflected in the polls. Be ready for a historic result in Punjab”, the SAD president added.
 
The SAD president said the people of Bathinda were also looking at development. He said development had become a major issue in Bathinda as both the erstwhile Congress and present AAP government had discriminated against the constituency. “People have witnessed how the face of the constituency was changed with AIIMS, central university, refinery, cancer hospital and airport among other things established in this constituency during SAD tenure. They want a return to the days of development and will ensure Mrs Harsimrat Badals victory by 1.50 to 2 lakh votes”.

 
Speaking on the occasion, Mrs Badal thanked ‘parmatma’, the party and people of this constituency for giving her an opportunity to serve them. “I have done my utmost to pilot development works both in the villages and towns of this constituency. I am also proud that I raised the voice of Punjab in parliament in the face of dictatorial trends. I will continue to serve this constituency to the best of my ability”. EOM
