Several Punjab Leaders Join BJP in Presence of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini*

Chandigarh, August 30 – The Bharatiya Janata Party received a significant boost in the Lehragaga area in Punjab as people from various sections joined the party, expressing confidence in the leadership of Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, and the policies of the BJP.

 

More than three dozen people from Patiala, Mansa, Sangrur, Patran and Lehragaga joined the BJP. They included former workers and functionaries associated with the Aam Aadmi Party, Congress and Shiromani Akali Dal, besides social workers, businessmen, farmers, contractors, ex-servicemen and people from other sections of society.

 

Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, said that the BJP family is continuously expanding and people from diverse sections joining the party reflects their growing faith in the development taking place in the country under the leadership of Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, and in the BJP’s public welfare policies.

 

He said that the people of Punjab have become disillusioned with the Aam Aadmi Party government. The expectations with which the people of Punjab had voted the Aam Aadmi Party to power have not been fulfilled, and they are now looking towards the BJP as an alternative, he said.

 

 

 

The Chief Minister said that the BJP is not a party that reaches out to people only during elections, but one that works continuously for public service and development.

 

 

 

Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that people from different sections joining the BJP in Lehragaga would further strengthen the party in the coming days. Welcoming the new members, he said that every worker in the BJP is accorded respect and given an opportunity to progress.

 

 

 

He said that the politics of the Aam Aadmi Party is increasingly moving away from issues concerning the people, while the BJP continues to move forward with an agenda of development, good governance and public service. The growing support for the BJP in Lehragaga reflects the changing political environment, he added.

 

 

 

Among those who joined the BJP were Olympic awardee Manpreet Kaur, Nirmal Singh, associated with a farmers’ union, farmer Rampal Labbal, businessmen Deepak Garg, Amitpal Singh and Sukhjit Sharma, social workers Dauli Ram, Tara Singh, Sushil Kumar and Mandeep Singh; Balwinder Singh, associated with the property business; and contractor Sukhwinder Singh.
