Kewal Singh Dhillon to Lead BJP in Punjab; Party Workers Give Warm Reception at Tikshan Sood’s Residence
Hoshiarpur / Daljeet Ajnoha/June 2
Senior BJP leader and former cabinet minister Tikshan Sood said that after being appointed as the party’s new state president, Sardar Kewal Singh Dhillon visited Sood’s residence in Hoshiarpur on his first round of meetings with workers. Party workers gave Sardar Dhillon a grand welcome at the event.
Addressing the gathering, workers expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Aam Aadmi Party government, saying it has failed badly in Punjab. They accused the government of not fulfilling promises made to the public and said law and order in the state has deteriorated significantly. Once considered a leading state, Punjab has fallen to 18th place, they said, adding that Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Haryana have surged ahead thanks to “double-engine” governments.
They blamed the AAP’s policies for pushing Punjab into a financial crisis and urged that these problems will be resolved only when a BJP government is formed in the state. They also promised that a BJP government would guarantee Minimum Support Price (MSP) for 24 crops to farmers.
On the occasion, Sood, alongside state general secretary Parminder Singh Barar addressed the press. Several senior leaders and party workers attended the event, including former Union Minister Som Parkash; former minister Mohinder Kaur Josh; Namisha Mehta; Dr. Dilbagh Rai; Shiv Sood former mayor; Nipun Sharma; Vijay Pathania; Anand vir Singh; councillor Surinder Pal Bhatti; Gurpreet Kaur; Satish Bawa; Suresh Bhatia Bittu; Ashwani; Ball Vinod Parmar; Yashpal Sharma; Kamaljeet Setia; Rakesh Sood’s wife; Kavita Parmar; Archana Jain; Kulwant Kaur; Ashok Kumar; Amarjeet Singh Laddi; Tarsem Modgil; Sanju Arora; Rakesh Suri; Shammi Walia; Baba Handa; Ishan Mahra; Rajesh; Anil Jain; Ravikant; Palvi; Sunita; Sukhveer Singh; Chander Shekhar Tiwari; Rajkumar; Ramesh Thakur; Atul Sood; Pinky; Manjinder Sian; Shiv Kumar; Honey Sood; Akshay; Rajiv Mahajan; Agyapal Sahni; Avtar Singh Kang; Deekshant Thakur; Ranjeet Rana; Pankaj Bansal; Harmesh Lal; Kurban Lokesh Khanna; Amita Sood; Tabsum Khatun; Raj Kumari; Advocate Sandeep Tiwari; Jassi Jaskaran; Rohit Dhir; Harbhajan Pal; Vishal Sharma; Kewal Singh; Ramdev Yadav; Mohinder Pal Dhiman; Mendiratta; Hem Raj; Pandit Brij Lal; Surjeet Kumar; Davinder Arora; Deepak, among others.
