Chandigarh,
\nRajya Sabha MP Shwait Malik, while taking over as president of the state BJP unit at a ceremony here on Sunday, gave a call for \u201cCongress quit Punjab<\/p>\n
movement\u201d.<\/p>\n
Addressing leaders and workers, Malik said: \u201cWe have given the Congress government enough time to deliver. But it has failed to fulfil even a single promise<\/p>\n
from its long list of assurances given to the voters during the Assembly polls last year.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUnemployed are not getting any jobs, newlyweds are not getting \u2018shagun\u2019 and elders are without pension. Farmers are being forced to commit suicide in the<\/p>\n
wake of a farce loan waiver scheme. To top it all, people will now have to pay higher taxes and higher electricity bills. There is a lot of resentment among people<\/p>\n
which will become evident in the next year\u2019s Lok Sabha elections,\u201d Malik said.<\/p>\n
The occasion saw as many as seven former state BJP presidents sharing the stage. They were Madan Mohan Mittal, Manoranjan Kalia, Avinash Rai Khanna,<\/p>\n
Rajinder Bhandari, Ashwani Sharma, Kamal Sharma and Vijay Sampla. Also present on the occasion were incharge of the state unit Prabhat Jha, national<\/p>\n
general secretary Tarun Chugh and singer Hans Raj Hans.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe SAD-BJP\u2019s work on 24-hour power supply, welfare schemes and infrastructure (mainly roads) is unparalleled in the state. The Congress has nothing more<\/p>\n
to show except maligning our government. It has not given a single benefit to people. Our party workers need to get together to bring about a qualitative change<\/p>\n
in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
Malik said: \u201cOur party is not a family enterprise. Starting from a virtual zero today we have approximately 1,600 MLAs and 350 MPs, which speaks volumes of<\/p>\n
the sincerity of the party that has worked tirelessly for the welfare of the people. We are sure to keep up the good show in the Lok Sabha elections.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, critics point out even as most BJP leaders reiterated their commitment on alliance with the SAD, \u201cnot even a single Sikh was on the stage\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
