Ludhiana/ Sangrur, June 8 -- Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on Saturday launched a sharp attack on the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), alleging that both parties had exploited the people of Punjab and failed to deliver on their promises. He claimed that the people of the state now want to move forward with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ensure Punjab's development. Speaking on the occasion of Parkash Purb of Guru Amar Das in Ludhiana, Saini urged people to follow the path shown by the Sikh Gurus. Targeting the Congress, he said the party was "heading towards political extinction and had contributed to corruption and the growth of the drug menace in Punjab during its tenure". "The law and order situation in Punjab is deteriorating and businessmen are shifting to other states," he said. Saini described Captain Amarinder Singh as a member of the BJP family and expressed confidence that they would work together to form a government in Punjab. During his visit to Dhuri, the home constituency of Punjab CM Bhagwant Singh Mann, Saini claimed that the people of Dhuri are prepared for a political transformation and that the BJP will form the government in the upcoming assembly election. Addressing a rally in Babbanpur village of Dhuri, Saini stated that the people of Dhuri are now ready for a change. He claimed that Mann would not contest the election from Dhuri. He said that governance cannot be run on mere theatrics and witty remarks, stating that such things belong in a cinema hall rather than in public service. He criticised Mann for distancing himself from his own constituency. Punjab BJP chief Kewal Singh Dhillon stated that the rally made it clear that the BJP will form the next government. He assured that if the BJP is voted to power, the government will resolve all water-related issues, ensuring an abundance of water. Ahead of the rally, AAP workers led by Punjab Small Industries & Export Corporation chairman Dalvir Singh Dhillon blocked Ludhiana-Sangrur highway near the Canal village and staged a protest against the BJP. Taking to social media, Punjab cabinet minister Harpal Singh Cheema said, "In this video, Haryana chief minister @NayabSainiBJP can be seen addressing rows of empty chairs at a so-called 'public gathering' in Dhuri. These vacant seats send a clear message-@BJP4Punjab has failed to connect with the people of the state. Punjab has witnessed hollow promises and misplaced priorities of the BJP in neighbouring states and is not going to be swayed by divisive politics, hatred, or false narratives. The people of Punjab have already made up their minds."...
