Four-time lawmaker and Congress's Chandigarh candidate Pawan Kumar Bansal Wednesday lashed out at his rival and sitting BJP MP Kirron Kher, alleging "nothing has been achieved" during her tenure, and said his priority would be to restore the "lost glory" of 'city beautiful'.
The Congress Tuesday fielded the former railway minister from the Chandigarh Lok Sabha seat.
Commenting on the tenure of actor-turned-politician Kher, Bansal said, "It has been totally disappointing experience for people. Nothing has been achieved. Only superficial things have been done."
He lamented that the ranking of 'city beautiful', as Chandigarh is popularly known, plunged from the third spot to the 20th in the 'Swachh Survekshan' 2019. "The city has lagged behind in every segment."
Bansal also batted for metro train services in the city in order to address the issue of traffic jams. "Over 1.25 lakh vehicles come to the city from other states, causing traffic snarls and parking problem."
