Chandigarh 22nd April, 2019:- Congress star campaigner Harish Rawat on
Sunday predicted a massive victory for party Lok Sabha candidate from
Chandigarh Pawan Kumar Bansal. Saying he had brought blessings of Kedarnath,
Badrinath and Hemkunt Sahib for the four-time MP, he said as Union Water
Resources Minister Bansal had done a good turn for Uttarakhand by sanctioning three
major multipurpose hydel projects for Uttarakhand at major cost to the central
government.
Addressing a
massive gathering, organised by Uttarakhand Cell of Chandigarh Congress at
Ramleela grounds in Sector 43, the AICC General
Secretary incharge of two North-Eastern states and former Uttarakhand
Chief Minister appealed to the people to send Bansal to the Parliament again
with a big margin and bring Congress back to power at the Centre to finish
five-years of BJP misrule.
Taking a dig
at the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for testing the people with their
own “mann ki baat”, he said that the Congress on the other hand was interested
more in listening to the common man’s “mann ki baat”.
Dwelling on
the Congress manifesto released by party President Rahul Gandhi, he said that
the revolutionary NYAY scheme will prove to be a game-changer in uplifting the
fortunes of 5 crore families and 25 crore people by ensuring a minimum monthly
income of Rs 12,000. He said the Congress will come good on its promise of
reserving 33% seats for women in the vidhan sabhas and the Lok Sabha and write
off farm loans within 30 days of coming to power.
Lashing out
at the spiralling prices of petrol, diesel and other essential commodities,
Rawat said the BJP had added to the woes of all sections of the people while
helping a handful of influential families to proper beyond proportions. Instead
of fulfilling its promise of providing two crore jobs a year, the government
during its five years had in fact added another eight crore people to the BPL list.
In his
speech, Pawan Bansal, while reeling out a long list of failures of the BJP both
at the Centre and in Chandigarh, said that while Chandigarh was always smarter
than the smart cities, it had plummeted in Swachh Bharat and Smart cities
rankings, because of the complete neglect and mismanagement during the last
five-years.
On an appeal
from State Congress President Pardeep Chhabra the crowds raised their hands in
acknowledgement that they will not only convince people in their areas of
influence within the city but also in adjoining areas to vote for the party.
Among other
local party leaders present were Subhash Chawla, Harmohinder Singh Lucky,
Gurpreet Singh Gabi, Devinder Babla, Bhupinder Singh Badheri, Gurbax Rawat and
Barinder Singh Rawat.
