Punjab polls a fight between developmental, divisive forces: Badal

The next year's Assembly polls in Punjab would be a "direct fight" between the "development oriented" SAD-BJP alliance and the "divisive forces" led by Congress and Aam Aadmi Party, Chief Minister Parkash Singh said today. Addressing a public gathering during a Sangat Darshan programme in Shutrana Assembly segment here, he said, "The people of the state would have to make a choice between the pro-Punjab SAD-BJP alliance and the anti-Punjab Congress and AAP." Hoping that the people would reject Congress and AAP outrightly to pave way for SAD-BJP alliance to form government in the state for the third consecutive term, Badal exhorted people to exercise their franchise carefully as this election is very decisive as it may make or mar Punjab's future. Hitting out at Congress, he alleged that Congress has "irrelevantly meddled" in the social, political, economic and even religious affairs of Punjab.

Everyone's invited

Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal (pictured) said he was not perturbed by his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal's five-day visit to Punjab that begins today. With the Assembly polls slated for early 2017, many "seasonal birds" were expected to visit the state, Badal told a gathering in Chandigarh. He claimed the visit would hardly make a difference because the alliance between his Shiromani Akali Dal and the Bharatiya Janata Party was poised to register its third consecutive win in the state and form the government. Don't for a minute imagine he is a bad host: Badal reiterated that in a democracy every leader was free to visit any state.
